That owners manual doesn't answer the question Stuey asked - it simply refers you to the dealer to check the auto transmission levels.

Thats a good manual then , doesnt even tell you how to check the oil

 

I would imagine the procedure is the same as most auto's ...get the car to operating temp ., place in P and then run through the box set back to P and check level with car on level ground??

3. Remove the tightening bolt for A/T fluid level gauge.

 

 

I think Stuey's original question was about not being able to find this gauge. I'm still not sure I can find it on mine.

The dipstick is right at the rear of the engine just in front of the bulkhead. Be careful, the stick is about 3 feet long and can be a bit awkward to get back in properly.
