Maintenance
Changing the automatic
transaxle fluid
1. Raise and suitably support the
vehicle.
2. Remove the drain plug located at
the bottom of the transaxle pan.
3. After the oil has drained complete-
ly, install a new washer on the
plug, reinstall the drain plug, and
tighten to 2.9~3.4 kg•m (21~24
lb•ft, 29~34 N•m).
4. Lower the vehicle.
5. Remove the automatic transaxle
dipstick located near the center of
the engine compartment bulkhead
and, using a funnel, add the nec-
essary amount of automatic
transaxle fluid.
Use only the specified automatic
transaxle fluid. (Refer to
"Recommended Lubricants" later in
this section.)
✽✽
NOTICE
Do NOT overfill the automatic
transaxle reservoir. Doing so can
cause a seal “blow out”, loss of fluid,
and damage to the transaxle. If you
overfill the reservoir, you must drain
the excess prior to driving the vehi-
cle. It is likely that there will be fluid
left in the transaxle after draining,
especially if the front of the vehicle
was raised to remove the drain plug.
6. Check the fluid level. If necessary,
add a small amount of fluid and
check the level again. Continue
this process until the level reads
within “HOT” range.
7. Replace the dipstick and properly
dispose of the used transaxle fluid.

WARNING - Lifting your
vehicle
If you raise your vehicle, always
ensure that it is supported at all
four jacking or lift points for the
vehicle. Do not use jacks meant
for tire changes. Use only lift
equipment specifically recom-
mended for doing maintenance
work under the vehicle. Place
the vehicle and lift equipment
on a hard, level surface capable
of supporting the full weight of
the vehicle without moving or
deforming. If the support is not
stable, the vehicle could fall and
cause serious or fatal injuries.
Follow the instructions with the
lift device.
