BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

Always wear proper safety equipment when performing repairs.
Ensure this part fits your exact vehicle year, make, model and configuration. You can verify at your point of purchase using the part number on the box, or using the part number above at DormanProducts.com.
Reference the appropriate service manual for your vehicle. If you do not have a service manual, and do not have the training or experience to perform the necessary procedures correctly, seek the services of a qualified technician.

This tool enables the user to check transmission fluid level.

STEP 1: Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level surface.

STEP 3: Engage parking brake. Start engine and let it idle with gear selector in the park position.
STEP 4: Shift the transmission lever through the gears several times with the vehicle stationary and engine idling.
STEP 5: Bring the vehicle up to operating temperature and check fluid level with engine idling. Push dipstick into transmission fill tube until it bottoms out against the transmission pan and pull out, read fluid level. NOTE: The dipstick will protrude from fill tube when installed.
STEP 6: Check transmission fluid temperature using a scan tool. NOTE: Accurate transmission fluid temperature can only be obtained by using a scan tool with the transmission lever in reverse or any forward gear position.
STEP 7: The transmission dipstick has level indicator lines every 10mm. Check fluid level on dipstick; determine proper fluid level using the correct fluid level chart for your vehicle.
