When checking the oil level, be careful not to allow dust, foreign materials, etc. to enter the fill hole.
1.
Remove the eyebolt (A).
2.
Add ATF SP-IV 700cc to the ATF injection hole.

3.
Start the engine.
(Don’t step on brake and accelerator simultaneously.)
4.
Confirm that the temperature of the automatic transaxle oil temperature sensor is 50 ~ 60°C (122 ~ 140°F) with the GDS.
5.
Shift the select lever slowly from "P" to "D", then "D" to "P" and repeat one more at idle.
  
Keep each shift position for more than 2 seconds.

Then finish the procedure and tighten the ATF level check plug.
  
Oil level check method (for excess or shortage)
Excess: The quantity of drained oil exceed 900cc for tow minutes. {50 ~ 60°C (122 ~ 140°F)}
Shortage: No ATF flows out of the overflow plug.
  
Replace the gasket before reinstalling the ATF level check plug.
Turn the oil level check plug clockwise until it is set.
If there is no damage at the automatic transaxle and the ATF cooler, the ATF cooler hose, transaxle case, valve body tightening state are normal, ATF must drip out after performing 1 to 6 procedures above. if the oil doesn’t drip out, inspect the automatic transaxle assembly.

4.9 ~ 5.9 N.m (0.5 ~ 0.6 kgf.m, 3.6 ~ 4.3 lb-ft)
  
Replace the gasket (A) before reinstalling the eyebolt.
