Phil,
My manual says the following:
1. Drive the vehicle several miles to raise the temperature of the transmission fluid up to normal operating temperature. 140 to 176°F (60 +0 80°C) is normal.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
3. First put the gearshift selector lever in every position. then put it in "P", and run the engine at idling speed.
4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and insert again.
5. Pull out the dipstick again and check the level. If it is below the "HOT" range, add the recommended automatic transmission fluid up to the "F" line.
When the fluid level has to be checked without time to warm up the automatic transmission, check to see that the fluid level is within the "COLD" range. If it is below that range, add fluid. Do not overfill.
Glenn
