Place a suitable container under the transaxle.
Remove the drain plug (1).
Install the drain plug after all fluid has drained. Tighten to specification (30 ft. lbs.).
The correct fill procedure is to first remove the plug from the fluid level check port located on top of the transaxle housing above the differential, before attempting to pour fluid into the transaxle.
Remove the fill plug from the vent pod located on the front of the valve body pan.
Insert a suitable funnel into the vent pod on the front of the valve body pan.
Slowly pour 4 L (4.3 qt.) of specified fluid into the funnel while watching the fill hole for spill over.
Start the engine and allow it to idle in park.
Pour 1 L (1.05 qt.) into the transaxle and install the fill plug. Tighten to specification.
With engine still running in park, raise the vehicle and check the fluid level.
NOTE: Special Tool Dipstick 10323A Fluid level Indicator and a Scan-tool are required to accurately measure the fluid level in the 6F24 Automatic Transaxle
Checking the fluid level in the 6F24 Automatic Transaxle is to measure the distance from the upper lip of the fluid level check port, located on top of the transaxle housing above the differential, down to the surface of the fluid. Tool 10323A fluid level indicator is marked in 5 mm increments with the base of the handle at 140 mm and the lower tip at “0”. The engine must be running at idle with the transaxle in park and the vehicle hoisted in a level position.
Connect a Scan Tool to the Diagnostic Connector under the instrument panel on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
Navigate to a screen to display transaxle fluid temperature.
Start the engine and allow it to run at idle with the transaxle in Park.
Verify that the fluid temperature is above 50 °C.
Insert tool Dipstick 10323A (2) into the fluid level check port (3) and allow the handle of the tool to rest on the flat surface of the transaxle housing (1) around the check port.
Remove the tool from the check port, keeping the handle above the tip so the level reading remains accurate.
Note the increment on the shaft of the tool where the fluid left a mark.
Based on the temperature of the fluid and the measurement on the tool, refer to the table to determine the proper level. Add or siphon fluid to achieve the specified fluid level.
Install the plug into the fluid level check port. Tighten to specification (30 ft lbs).
