“80°F”

for a cold check and will move into the

“WARM”

area as the temperature increases. When

the fluid

at normal operating temperature (180°F

to 200”F, 82°C to 93”C), the level must be in the

crosshatched area marked

“

190°F.’’

See “Automatic

Transmission Fluid Temperature Reading” in the
