- A new procedure for draining and adding transmission fluid using a suitable transmission flush and fill machine has been added. The different methods for draining and refilling the transmission fluid are listed below.
Use the method that is applicable to your vehicle.
- All vehicles using a suitable flush and fill machine
- Vehicles equipped with a fluid pan and torque converter drain plug
- Vehicles not equipped with a fluid pan or a torque converter drain plug
- Vehicles equipped with a torque converter drain plug and without a fluid pan drain plug
CAUTION:
Always refer to the instructions supplied with the flush and fill machine.
CAUTION:
Do not use any supplemental transmission fluid additives or cleaning agents. The use of these products could cause internal transmission components to fail, affecting the operation of the transmission.

Draining fluid from the transmission by removing only the fluid pan is acceptable for vehicles that do not have a torque converter drain plug and for normal or severe duty fluid maintenance.
