Checking Fluid Level
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 1994 Hyundai Sonata, 1993 Hyundai Sonata, 1992 Hyundai Sonata, 1991 Hyundai Sonata, and 1990 Hyundai Sonata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Vehicle must be level, with engine at normal operating temperature. Ensure gearshift lever is in "P" position. Add enough ATF to bring fluid level to lower mark on dipstick. With engine idling (in "P" position) fluid level should be full, between upper and middle marks of dipstick (HOT range). See Fig 1 . Insert dipstick fully into tube to prevent dirt from entering transaxle.
