hold the natural expansion of transmission oil that occurs as the transmission
warms up during operation. DO NOT FILL THE RESERVOIR. Under normal
operating conditions, no oil should be added to the reservoir. The COLD oil
level should be approximately 1/4" above the bottom of the reservoir. See the
