How to Determine the Proper Level for Adding Transmission Fluid?
1 Answers
The proper level for adding transmission fluid is when the transmission dipstick reading is between the high and low marks. Method for checking transmission fluid level: Start the vehicle, pull out the transmission fluid dipstick to check the marks. The standard fluid level is when the reading is between the high and low marks. Another inspection method: there is an inspection screw on the side of the transmission. Remove this screw, and if transmission fluid flows out, it indicates sufficient fluid. Steps for adding transmission fluid: Lift the vehicle and place a large container underneath to catch used fluid. Use an appropriate screwdriver to remove the transmission outer cover. Remove the transmission fluid filter, take off the oil pan gasket, clean surrounding stains, and wipe all cleaned transmission filter components with cotton cloth before reinstalling them. Wipe the surfaces of replaced components clean, ensuring no water or oil stains remain to prevent leaks. Reinstall the cleaned oil pan and gasket together, making sure they fit tightly to avoid leaks. Clean the filter housing thoroughly and reinstall it, first securing two diagonal screws before tightening all. Finally, add the manufacturer-recommended fluid. Check the fluid level through the fill inspection hole - when properly filled, fluid will flow out from this hole.
