NOTE: Be sure that cooler is properly installed
and that transmission contains oil before
cranking or starting.
Procedure for Checking Oil Level
Oil level should be checked immediately after stopping
engine, and sufficient oil added to again bring transmission
oil level to full mark on dipstick assembly. Dipstick
assembly need not be threaded into case to determine oil
level. Merely insert into case until cap or plug rests on
surface surrounding oil filler hole.
Transmission should be checked periodically to assure
proper oil level, and oil should be added if necessary.
Changing Oil

each season. After draining oil from unit, thoroughly clean
the removable oil screen before refilling transmission with
recommended oil (ATF), Type "A", Suffix "A" "Dexron".
NOTE: Oil capacity does not include capacity needed for
transmission cooler and oil lines, which may require
an amount greater than in table, following.
