- The dipstick is typically marked with a yellow or red handle.
Step 2: Check the transmission fluid level.
- Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean with a rag.
- Re-insert the dipstick into the transmission until it seats.
- Pull the dipstick out again and check the fluid level. The fluid should be between the "Full" and "Add" marks on the dipstick.
Step 3: Add transmission fluid, if necessary.
- If the fluid level is low, you will need to add transmission fluid.
- Use a funnel to add fluid slowly to the transmission.
- Check the fluid level frequently as you add fluid to avoid overfilling the transmission.
Step 4: Reinsert the transmission fluid dipstick.
- Once you have added the correct amount of fluid, reinsert the dipstick into the transmission. Make sure that the dipstick is fully inserted before you start the engine.
Here are some additional tips for checking and adding transmission fluid:
- Make sure that the engine is off when you are checking the transmission fluid level.
- If you add too much transmission fluid, it can cause damage to the transmission.
- Only use transmission fluid that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of your vehicle.
