Land Rover Discovery: Fluid Level and Condition
Checks
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
NOTE:
The transmission fluid temperature must be between 37ºC (99ºF) and
45ºC (113ºF) whilst checking level. Should the temperature rise above
this figure, abort the check and allow the transmission fluid to cool.
This automatic transmission is not equipped with a fluid level indicator. An
incorrect level may affect the transmission operation and could result in
transmission damage. For fluid level checks refer to the relevant section of
the workshop manual. REFER to: Transmission Fluid Level Check (307-01
Automatic Transmission/Transaxle, General Procedures).
FLUID CONDITION CHECK
Use the following procedure to check the fluid condition, which is a good
indicator of the internal condition of the transmission:
- Check the fluid level.
- Observe the colour and the odour of the fluid. Unused fluid is honey
colored and becomes dark or blackish after the vehicle is driven a few
hundred miles.
- Allow the fluid to drip onto a facial tissue and examine the stain.
- A small quantity of fine debris is normal (due to normal wear). Large
metal particles may indicate excessive wear or internal damage.
