DRAIN AND REFILL

  1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. Turn engine OFF and apply the parking brake.
  2. Raise and support the vehicle with jackstands.
  3. Place a container of adequate capacity beneath the drain plug which is located underneath the vehicle, on the bottom of the transaxle housing.
  4. Use the proper size metric wrench to loosen the drain plug slowly, while maintaining a slight upward pressure, to keep the oil from leaking out around the plug.
  5. Allow all of the lubricant to drain from the transaxle, then install the drain plug and gasket (if so equipped) DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
  6. Remove the transaxle dipstick and fill the transaxle to the capacity shown in the Capacities chart. Do not overfill.
  7. Use the dipstick to check the oil level. It should come up to the full mark.
  8. Insert the dipstick and lower the vehicle.
  9. Check for leaks around the drain plug and check for proper transaxle/transaxle operation.
