What is the process for changing automatic transmission fluid?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission fluid change steps: 1. Lift the vehicle and place a large container underneath to catch the used fluid; 2. After a few minutes when most fluid has drained, carefully remove the last oil pan by hand as it still contains significant amounts of used fluid; 3. Carefully remove the transmission fluid filter; 4. Take off the oil pan gasket and clean surrounding residue - use tools if necessary for hard-to-reach areas; 5. Wipe all cleaned transmission filter components with lint-free cloth and reinstall them one by one; 6. Thoroughly clean surfaces of replaced components, ensuring no water or oil stains remain to prevent leaks; 7. Refill with manufacturer-approved fluid.
