thank you agian for your prompt answer the air condishioner is now blowing cold for now i pressed a button on the dash board so i hope thats how it works sorry for all the questions this car is stressing me i have never owned a car with so many diffrent thing on it
i still need your help but i donot know where to check the trany fuild levels in the motor of this car or sure where to check oil could you give me some idea or where for both of these are and some advice on what sort of oil / tranny fluid for this car model i have a car manual but it does not show where to check trany or oil in it and the book is so technical just wanted to say i wished i had stuck to fords or holdens looking at this motor it is so scary thank you agian cheryllp

I dont know where the transmission dipstick is on your car without seeing it, it usually has a red rubber grip on it or a black handle, besure to have car running and at a warm temperature when testing the tranny fluid, the propper tranny fluid can be found in the owners manual or if you call the dealership.

for engine oil its up to you you can run 5W-30 or you can run 20, i prefer 30 for winter driving.
