Oil Level Check

NOTE: A check of ATF level is not normally required during scheduled services. If an oil leak is found, perform the oil level check procedure after repairs are completed.
CAUTION: When checking the oil level, be careful not to enter dust, foreign matters, etc. from fill hole.
  1. Start the engine. (Don't step on brake and accelerator simultaneously).
  2. Confirm that the temperature of the A/T oil temperature sensor is 50~60°C (122~140°F) with the GDS.
  3. Shift the shift lever slowly from "P" to "D" to "P" at idle. Repeat one time.

    Shift the select lever to "N".

    CAUTION: Pause in each gear position more than 2 seconds.
  4. Lift the vehicle, then remove the oil level check plug (A) from the valve body cover.
    CAUTION: At this time, the vehicle must be at a level state.

  5. If there is no oil drain or the amount of oil drain is very low (within 20 cc).

    Add ATF SP-IV-RR 650 cc to the ATF injection hole (A).

    CAUTION: If oil starts to overflow from the oil level check plug, you must stop adding oil.

  6. If the oil flows out of the overflow plug in thin steady stream, the oil level is correct.

    Then finish the procedure and tighten the oil level check plug.

    NOTE: Oil level check (excess or shortage) method
    • Excess: Drain quantity exceeds 500 cc per minute. (Let oil flow until oil stream becomes thin)
    • Shortage: If there is no drain after adding 650 cc of ATF. (Add more ATF oil until oil starts to drain)
    CAUTION: If there is no damage at the automatic transmission and the oil cooler, the oil cooler hose, transmission case, valve body tightening state are normal, ATF must drip out after performing above 1 to 6 procedures. After performing above 1 to 6 procedures, if the oil doesn't drip out, inspect the automatic transmission assembly.
    CAUTION: Replace the gasket of the oil level plug and use new one whenever loosening the oil level check plug.

    Oil level check plug tightening torque:  22.6 ~ 24.5 N.m (2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m, 16.6 ~ 18.1 lb-ft)

  7. After ATF level check or exchange, be sure to remove residual ATF on transmission case.

    (Be especially sure to remove residual ATF between automatic transmission case and oil pan)

  8. Put down the vehicle with the lift.
