How do you add auto transmission fluid to Mitsubishi express?

To add automatic transmission fluid (ATF) to a Mitsubishi Express, follow these steps:

Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and turn off the engine.

Open the hood of your Mitsubishi Express.

Locate the transmission dipstick. It is usually marked with a red or orange handle and has the word "ATF" stamped on it.

Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean with a rag.

Reinsert the dipstick into the transmission and check the fluid level. The fluid should be between the "FULL" and "ADD" marks on the dipstick.

If the fluid level is low, add enough ATF to bring it up to the "FULL" mark.

Use a funnel to add fluid.

Check the fluid level again and make sure it is at the proper level.

Replace the dipstick and close the hood.

Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.

Check the transmission fluid level once again to ensure it is still at the proper level.

Note:

Only use the recommended ATF specified in the vehicle's owner's manual. Using the wrong type of ATF can damage the transmission.

Avoid overfilling the transmission with fluid, as this can cause problems.

If you are unsure about how to check or add ATF, consult a qualified mechanic.
