Example: Total Fill (13 quarts) - Initial Fill (7 quarts) = Balance (6 quarts)


1. Disconnect transmission return cooler line, at the radiator. Look for a 6 inch length of 5/16” I.D. neoprene hose, connecting the radiator (transmission cooler) to the transmission's metal return line. Place end of hose into an empty gallon jug.

2. Start engine and pump transmission fluid into jug, until you can hear it “slurp” in the transmission pan—the pan should now be empty. Turn engine off.

3. Drop and clean pan with brake cleaner. Remove and clean magnet, being sure to reinstall it in the same location.

4. Remove and replace transmission filter, coating the O-ring with ATF.

5. Replace pan. If gasket is the reusable type, reuse it.

6. Add Initial Fill of ATF through the filler tube (7 quarts).

7. Start engine and pump out half of Balance (3 quarts of ATF). Stop engine and add 3 more quarts of ATF.

8. Start engine and pump out the other half of Balance (3 quarts of ATF). Stop engine and add 3 quarts of ATF. The system should now have the Total Fill of ATF (13 quarts).

9. Replace dip stick, start engine, and, with the car level, move the gear selector through each gear (PRNDL), pausing 5 seconds in each gear. Warm car up to normal operating temperature, place car in (P)ark on a level surface, and check the dip stick with the engine running. Ensure fluid comes to the top of the “Full” line.
