Caution: Refer to Checking Hot Transmission Fluid through Drain Plug Hole Caution in the Preface section.
- With the vehicle on a level surface and the fluid in the transaxle cold, remove the filler plug and check the fluid level. The fluid should come to the bottom edge of the plug hole.
- If the level is low, add SAE 75W-85 GL-4 manual transaxle fluid through the filler plug hole until the fluid begins to run out.
- Reinstall the filler plug and tighten it securely.
- If the fluid is contaminated, drain the oil after removing the differential gear cover.
