Oil level Check
   
When checking the oil level, be careful not to enter dust, foreign matters, etc. from fill hole.
1.
Remove the eyebolt (A).
Eyebolt tightening torque:
4.9 N.m ~ 5.9 N.m (0.5 ~ 0.6 kgf.m, 3.6 ~ 4.3 lb.ft)
   
Always replace the gasket of the eyebolt use new one whenever loosening eyebolt.
2.
Add ATF SP-IV 700cc to the ATF injection hole.

3.
Start the engine. (Don’t step on brake and accelerator simultaneously.)
4.
Confirm that the temperature of the Automatic Transaxle(AT) Oil Temperature Sensor(OTS) is 50~60°C(122~140°F) with the GDS.
5.
Shift the select lever slowly from “P” to “D”, then “D” to “P” and repeat one more at idle.

6.
Lift the vehicle, then remove the oil level plug (A) from the valve body cover.
