How many liters of transmission fluid does the Buick LaCrosse require?
1 Answers
The transmission, also known as the gearbox, requires 7.1 liters of fluid for the Buick LaCrosse automatic transmission. The transmission fluid dipstick has two sides: 1. The COLD side indicates the transmission fluid temperature is between 30~50°C; 2. The HOT side indicates the transmission fluid temperature is above 50°C. Since it's difficult to maintain the transmission fluid temperature between 30~50°C, the HOT method is generally used to measure the fluid level in the transmission. The specific steps for measuring automatic transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Drive the car normally for about 5 minutes (to raise the automatic transmission fluid temperature above 50°C); 2. Park the car without turning off the engine; 3. Press the brake pedal and shift through all gear positions, staying in each position for at least 2 seconds, finally stopping at P (Park); 4. Keep the engine idling and open the automatic transmission fluid reservoir cover; 5. Pull out the automatic transmission fluid dipstick, wipe it clean with a dry cloth, reinsert it fully, then pull it out again; 6. The fluid level should be between the two marks on the HOT side; 7. Reinsert the dipstick fully to complete the inspection.
