Automatic Transmission
Selection Of Lubricant
It is important to use the proper transmission fluid to ensure
optimum
transmission performance and life. Use only the
manufacturer's specified transmission fluid. Refer to “Fluids
And Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications” for fluid spec
-
ifications. It is important to maintain the transmission fluid
a
t the
correct level using the recommended fluid.
NOTE:
No chemical flushes should be used in any transmission;
o
nly the
approved lubricant should be used.
Special Additives
The manufacturer strongly recommends against using any
special
additives in the transmission. Automatic Transmis-
sion Fluid (ATF) is an engineered product and its perfor-
mance may be impaired by supplemental additives.
T
herefo
re, do not add any fluid additives to the transmis-
sion. Avoid using transmission sealers as they may
a
dverse
ly affect seals.
CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other than the manufacturer’s
recomme
nded fluid may cause deterioration in transmission
shift quality and/or torque converter shudder. Refer to “Fluids
And Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications” for fluid
specifications.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your transmission as the
chemica
ls can damage your transmission components. Such
damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
