NOTE:- DO NOT RACE ENGINE while checking fluid level, even after engine is started.
- DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling can causes foaming and loss of fluid through breather. Then slippage and transmission failure can result.
- If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a trailer, fluid level should be checked about half an hour after it is stopped.
