that the level gauge is correctly inserted and in the
proper direction.
5) Pull out the oil level gauge again and check the
oil level is between lower and upper levels.  If it is
below the lower level, check oil leakage and add oil

on exhaust pipe; it may cause smoke or fire. If
transmission gear oil splashes to exhaust
pipes, wipe clean them.

4) Tighten transmission gear oil drain plug with new
gasket.
