I have bought a RARE 2014 chevy caprice PPV vehicle from an auction. only had busted windshield and headlight and it was ready to be restored and get rebuild title.
it has 165,000 miles on it which is fairly high for a 2014 chevy but i figured since its a police car made by the australians for chevy that it may be a good vehicle since it was awarded the nr 1 vehicle made for law enforcement in the US but yet due to cost of repair only an average of 6000 vehicles were bought by the US.
The car seems to drive nice so far but it has 165k miles on it and i dont know how well maintained the car was prior to me getting ahold of it. i figured law enforcement service their cars regularly however im not sure how they treat transmission flushing.
I believe the tranny reservoir is sealed and i dont have a proper way to check it with a dip stick.
please advice if i should change or not my transmission fluid and maybe even the filter
what does the fluid look like?
No man don’t flush it that service could ruin your tranny, just change the filter especially with the mileage on your car I wouldn’t suggest a flush
NO flush. Drain, replace filter and refill.
What’s the present condition of the ATF? Depending on what you find, it might not even be a good idea to change the fluid at that mileage.

The problem with this transmission reservoir is its sealed...so i cannot change filter without taking whole transmission apart which means i would have to at minimum drain the fluid and pull pan off to get to filter similar to chevy malibu except its even worse because its rear wheel drive and its in the back. no way to check the fluid level. its all sealed with no dip stick...
