hey yall my owners manual doesnt say anything about an automatic transmission change. it says so for a manual, but i drive an automatic. i was under the car recently and i could find the drain plug, but i couldnt find the fill plug.
ive heard on the internet that it may be lifetime transmission, but i doubt that. if i had a drain plug, i should have a fill plug lol.
what should i do?
thanks.
You should visit the FAQ section of this website, where you’ll find excellent guidance regarding ATF replacement.
If you’re still unsure, the forum will gladly go into further detail.
You should change ATF regularly, … say, every 50k. It’s simple. Drive a car for a bit to warm up ATF, park it, remove the dipstick, remove the drain plug and washer, drain the ATF into a pan, install a new washer and the drain plug, tighten to 20 N-m, pour specified amount of ATF through dipstick tube.
ATF: … you need to check it in your owners manual, but I think specked stuff is M-III or equivalent (Dexron III), … about 7.1 US qt, … approximate. Check level when ATF is hot, adjust it as needed. Done.
F.S.
Note: measure the amount of old ATF drained. When refilling with new fluid, just pour same amount as that that you just drained. You don’t want to overfill your transmission!
