DRAIN AND REFILL

  1. Raise and support the vehicle safely.
  2. Place a container of adequate capacity beneath the drain plug which is located underneath the car, on the bottom of the transaxle housing.
  3. Use the proper size wrench or socket and ratchet to loosen the drain plug slowly while maintaining a slight upward pressure. This will keep the oil from leaking out around the plug. The drain plug is located at the bottom center of the transaxle case.
  4. Allow all of the lubricant to drain from the transaxle, then install the drain plug and gasket (if so equipped). Tighten the drain plug to 30–35 ft. lbs. (41–47 Nm).
  5. Remove the transaxle dipstick and fill the transaxle to the correct capacity. Do not overfill.
  6. Use the dipstick to check the level. It should come up to the F (FULL) mark.
