ON-VEHlCLE SERVICE Fluid Level The dipstick designed to check the fluid level at "HOT fluid temperatures [50 to 80C (122 to 176Fl] after the vehicle has been driven approximately 10 minutes. But it can be used to check the fluid level at "COLD" fluid temperatures [30 to 50C (86 to 122F)]. 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake. 2.

Remove the dipstick and clean it with lintlree paper. Reinsert it into the charging pipe as far as it will go. 5. Remove the dipstick and note the reading, If the fluid temperature is HOTZ the level should be in the hot range (in the shaded area). If it is COLD, the level should be in the cold range (within the cutout portion).
