how to check transmission fluid level in my Tesla Outback 4th Generation (2010-2014)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required:
  • Clean cloth or paper towel
  • Funnel (if adding fluid)
  • Transmission fluid (if required)
• Safety Warnings:
  • Ensure the vehicle is on level ground.
  • Allow the engine to cool before checking the fluid to avoid burns.

2. Add Transmission Fluid (if low)

• Step 1: Remove the dipstick again and place a funnel into the dipstick tube.
• Step 2: Pour the appropriate transmission fluid slowly into the funnel, adding small amounts to avoid overfilling.
• Step 3: Reinsert the dipstick and check the fluid level again to ensure it is within the recommended range.

3. Clean Up and Final Check

• Step 1: Wipe off any spilled fluid with a cloth.
• Step 2: Reinsert the dipstick securely back into its tube.
• Step 3: Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes, then check the fluid level once more to confirm it is at the correct level.
