“HOTOIL” Transmission Temperature Warning Message
The “HOTOIL” cluster message will appear in the odometer accompanied with a chime to indicate that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. It may also occur when operating the vehicle in a high torque converter slip condition, such as 4-wheel drive operation (e.g., snow plowing, off-road operation). If this “HOTOIL” message turns on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or faster with the transmission in NEUTRAL until the message turns off.   

Caution! 
Continuous driving with the Transmission Temperature “HOTOIL” Warning message illuminated will eventually cause severe transmission damage or transmission failure.    

Warning! 
If the Transmission Temperature “HOTOIL” Warning message is illuminated and you continue operating the vehicle, in some circumstances you could cause the fluid to boil over, come in contact with hot engine or exhaust components and cause a fire.”
