Checking Fluid Levels

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Chevrolet Prizm. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Remove the transaxle oil level/filler plug (1) from the transaxle. See Fig 1 . Inspect the transaxle oil level.
  2. Ensure the oil level is even with the bottom of the transaxle oil level/filler plug hole. If the oil level is low, adjust the oil level accordingly by adding appropriate fluid. See RECOMMENDED FLUIDS  .
  3. Install the transaxle oil level/filler plug into the transaxle after applying Sealant (GM P/N 12346004), or the equivalent, in order to seal the oil level/filler plug threads. Tighten the transaxle oil level/filler plug to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Lower the vehicle.
