- Remove the battery and battery tray.
- Add 0.7 liter of ATF SP-IV after removing the eyebolt (the black plastic bolt that has a hole through it for overflow
- Start the engine to heat up the ATF. (Drive until thermostat is at normal running temp)
- Check that the temperature of the ATF is between 50C (122F) to 60C (140F). I can only test this by measuring the fluid in step x.
- Move the shift lever slowly from park to reverse to neutral to drive and back to park. Repeat this sequence a total of two times and then move the shift lever to neutral.

Normal: ATF flows out in a thin oil stream.
Excessive (abnormal): ATF flows out over 0.9 liter for 2 minutes.
Insufficient (abnormal): There is no fluid flow. - Correct the ATF level by:
Excessive: Allow to drain until the ATF flows out in a thin oil stream.
Insufficient: Add until the ATF flows out in a thin oil stream. - Install the ATF level plug. Do not reuse o-ring.
- Install the eyebolt.
