AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4L30–E)

Changing Transmission Fluid

There is no need to change the transmission fluid unless
the transmission is used under one or more of the
following heavy duty conditions.
A. Repeated short trips
B. Driving on rough roads
C. Driving on dusty roads
D. Towing a trailer
If the vehicle is used under these conditions, change the
fluid every 20,000 miles (32,000 km.)
More over, the remaining life percentage of ATF can be
estimated by using Tech 2 as an auxiliary tool to judge the
right time for ATF replacement.
The remaining life percentage is calculated from ATF’S
heat history. When it is close to 0%, ATF replacement is
recommended.

1. Place a large drain pan under the oil pan.
2. Remove the transmission oil drain screw (2) and drain

fluid.

3. Tighten drain screw (2).

Torque: 38 N

•

m (28 lb ft)

4. Remove the transmission overfill screw (1) and fill

transmission through overfill screw opening, using
DEXRON



–III ATF.

NOTE: Add transmission fluid until it flows out over the
overfill screw opening.

5. Let engine idle until a fluid temperature between 32

(90

F) and 57

C (135

F) is reached.

6. Add transmission fluid until it flows out over the overfill

screw opening, then close the overfill screw (1).

Torque: 38 N

•

m (28 lb ft)

NOTE: To prevent fluid leaks, the overfill screw and oil
drain screws gasket must be replaced each time these
screws are removed.

NOTE: Check transmission fluid temperature with scan
tool.

7. Reset “Oil Life Monitor” data by using Tech 2.

Refer to Tech 2 OBD II Connection in Transmission
Control System (4L30-E) section.

Selector Lever

Inspection

1. Make sure that when the selector lever is shifted from

“P” to “L”, a “clicking” can be felt at each shift position.
Make sure that the gear corresponds to that of the
position plate indicator.

2. Check to see if the selector lever can be shifted as

shown in illustration.
