TRANSMISSION.
CAUTION
Transmission must not be operated
for extended periods of time until a
Hot Check has verified proper fluid
level. Transmission damage can
result from extended operation at
improper fluid level conditions.
COLD OIL CHECK (COLD RUN BAND).
Run engine for one minute at idle speed.
Idle engine in Neutral (N) until transmission
reaches 60-120F (16-49C). Shift
transmission to Drive (D), then Reverse
(R), then return to N. Remove dipstick from
oil filler tube, wipe clean, and check oil
level. Oil registering in the COLD RUN
band indicates a sufficient quantity of oil to
safely
operate
the
transmission
until
temperature reaches 160-200F (71-
93C). If fluid level is not within COLD RUN
band, add or drain fluid, as required, to
bring level within the band. When
temperature reaches 160-200F (71-
93C), a hot oil check MUST be performed.
HOT OIL CHECK (HOT RUN BAND). Be
sure temperature has reached 160-200F
(71-93C). With truck on level ground,
engine idling, and transmission in Neutral
(N), remove dipstick from oil filler tube, wipe
clean, and check oil level. If oil registers in
the HOT RUN band, quantity of oil in
transmission is safe for operating the
vehicle. If it registers on or below the
bottom line of the HOT RUN band, add the
required amount of oil to bring oil level to
the middle of the HOT RUN band.
