1. Take the vehicle for a short drive to warm up the transmission to normal operating temperature, then park the vehicle on a level surface and check the oil level.
2. With the engine idling, move the automatic transmission selector lever from the "P" (Park) position to the other positions 3 times, set it to the "P" position, remove the dipstick from the pipe, and wipe all the oil from the end of the dipstick with a clean rag or paper towel.
