The level is checked with a dipstick in much the same manner as the engine oil level. The fluid should be checked at the same intervals as the engine oil. The dipstick is located at the right rear of the transaxle housing.
NOTE: Be careful not to confuse it with the engine oil dipstick, which is located on the same side of the engine.
Check the transaxle oil level with the car parked on a level surface and the engine stopped. The engine should be stopped for at least three minutes before the transaxle oil level is checked.
Pull the dipstick out and wipe it with a clean cloth. Insert the dipstick again and then remove it. The oil level should be between the upper F (FULL) and lower L (LOW) marks. If it is below L, replenish it through the dipstick opening with GL-5 hypoid gear oil, of proper weight. Add a little oil at a time. The distance between the marks on the dipstick is less than a pint. Do not overfill.
