2. Place the car in park: Move the gear selector to position “P”.
3. Open the hood: Pull the hood release lever under the instrument panel and open the hood.
4. Locate the transmission oil dipstick: The oil dipstick is located near the engine, near the automatic transmission housing. It usually has an orange or red handle.

6. Insert and pull out the dipstick again: Re-insert the dipstick into the tube and pull it out again.
7. Check the oil level: Check the oil on the dipstick. The oil level should be between the “L” (low) and “H” (high) marks on the dipstick.

Note:

* Do not overfill oil as this may damage the gearbox.
* If there are significant oil leaks or darkening of the oil, take it to a mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
