How do you refill trans axle Saturn L200?

The Saturn L200 doesn't have a "transaxle" in the traditional sense that you would refill like a separate transmission. The L200 uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT). CVTs are generally sealed units and are not designed for DIY fluid changes or top-offs. The fluid inside is designed for the life of the transmission.

Attempting to "refill" a CVT yourself is likely to cause more damage than good. You risk introducing contaminants, using the wrong fluid, or damaging the internal components.

Instead of trying to refill, if you suspect a problem with your L200's CVT, you should:

* Check your owner's manual: It will specify the recommended maintenance schedule and any specific recommendations for your CVT. It likely states that a CVT fluid change (if possible) should be done by a qualified technician.

* Take it to a qualified mechanic or Saturn dealership: A professional will diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate action. They have the specialized tools and knowledge to handle CVT maintenance or repairs, which are complex systems. Symptoms of CVT trouble can include slipping, whining noises, or rough shifting (though CVTs don't shift in the traditional sense).

In short, don't try to refill the CVT yourself. Professional service is the only safe and effective way to address any issues.
