A correct fluid level is critical to effective and efficient operation. If the level is too high, it will cause the fluid to churn and aerate, causing air bubbles that can trap heat and make the fluid run hotter. This can lead to early failure of bearings or gears. The objective of this procedure is to show you how to check and adjust transmission and transaxle fluid for automatic transmissions.
