"ATF-FZ" to fill or top off the fluid level. ATF-FZ is specially designed for use in the SKYACTIV-DRIVE series
AT. It is a low viscosity formula with less friction for better fuel economy.
NOTE: ATF-FZ is colored blue for easy identification.
To check the fluid level, remove the bolt, then remove the dipstick. The dipstick is marked with a "FZ"
ACTIV-DRIVE FW6A-EL AT. When finished, insert the dipstick and install the bolt.
