5. Power Steering Reservoir.

CAUTION

Use Dexron

®

II or Dexron

®

III

for filling power steering

reservoir. Failure to use

Dexron

®

II or Dexron

®

III may

cause damage to power

steering system.

Check the fluid level in the power

steering reservoir monthly and

adjust level as necessary. If fluid is

hot, level should be between HOT

and COLD marks on the cap

indicator. If cool, level should be

between ADD and COLD marks. In

either condition, level must be above

ADD mark. Fluid does not require

periodic changing.

6. Transmission.

CAUTION

• Do not overfill trans-

mission. The fluid level

rises as the fluid tem-

perature increases. There-

fore, do not check level

before the transmission has

reached normal operating

temperature.

The

safe

operating level is within the

crosshatch marks on the

dipstick. Overfilling may

result

in

damage

to

transmission.

• Use Dexron

®

III for filling

transmission. Failure to use

Dexron

®

III may cause

damage to transmission.

Check and fill transmission to

proper level weekly. Operate trans-

mission through all operating

ranges to fill cavities and fluid

passages. With vehicle positioned on

level ground, allow engine to idle,

shift transmission to neutral, and

apply parking brake. Check fluid

level on dipstick. It should register

within the crosshatch marks under

the conditions stated above. Have

fluid changed every 12,000 mi (19,308

km), or biennially, whichever occurs

first.

7. Crankcase Oil Level.

CAUTION

There are two marks on the

dipstick: FULL and ADD 1 QT.

The quantity of oil required to

raise the oil level from ADD

1 QT mark to FULL mark is 1 qt

(0.9 L). Do not overfill crank-

case. Overfilling may result in

damage to engine.

NOTE

• If oil level is above FULL, it

may be due to oil cooler

drain-back. Operate the

engine for one minute, shut

down, wait one minute,

then recheck oil level.

• Oil is added to crankcase

through fill tube which is

located on top of engine.

Check crankcase oil level daily.

Start engine and visually check for

oil leaks at drainplug and oil filter.

Stop engine and wait approximately

one minute for oil to drain back into

oil pan, then recheck oil level with

dipstick. On vehicles equipped for

deep water fording, the dipstick has

a seal which fits into the opening of

the dipstick tube. The dipstick

handle must be turned counter-

clockwise to be released before

dipstick is withdrawn. Turn handle

clockwise to seat after installing

dipstick. Have oil changed every

3,000 mi (4,827 km), or semiannually,

whichever occurs first.
