HOW TO PROPERLY CHECK YOUR TRANSMISSION
FLUID LEVEL
Preventative maintenance is the key
to keeping your vehicle working great
by Lloyd
L. Beverly, ASE Master Technician
 An
important part of keeping your vehicle working
great is checking your vehicle's fluid levels.
From the radiator cooling system level all
the way to the washer fluid level, all systems
are crucial to the correct operation of
your automobile. With that thought in mind,
you might be asking yourself, "How
do I check my transmission fluid level?"
Checking your transmission fluid level is
not as hard as you may think, however, you
do need a basic understanding of how the
transmission operates and if your manufacturer
has provided you the means necessary to
check the fluid level. Always consult your
owner's manual when in doubt.
Most automatic transmissions can have their
fluid level checked, but there is a rapidly
increasing trend of automakers taking the
conventional methods of checking the transmission
fluid level away. Most automatic transmissions
have a fill pipe with a dipstick to ensure
the proper transmission fluid level is present.
When this is the case, here are a few tips
on how to make sure you are properly checking
your automatic transmission fluid level.
-
On almost all vehicles, make sure the
engine has run for at least 5 minutes;
place the gear selector in either Park
or Neutral with the engine running. Always
set the emergency brake and place a wheel
stop or chog in front of and behind a
wheel.
-
Remove the transmission dipstick and wipe
any fluid off. Reinsert the dipstick and
remove it once again. There are a few
different styles of dipsticks. The basic
idea of them all is the same. You want
to make sure the transmission fluid is
with in the acceptable range, sometimes
referred to as in the "hash marks".
If it is at the upper or lower end or
anywhere in between, then the level is
acceptable. One piece of advice, all transmissions
are different and sometimes fluid levels
can be slightly above or below the acceptable
ranges and in most cases this is normal.
-
If your fluid level is low and you would
like to add fluid, again consult your
owner's manual first to identify the proper
fluid type. Once you have the correct
fluid, insert a funnel into the fill pipe.
It is recommended to add fluid 1 pint
at a time so you won't overfill the transmission.
After each pint is installed, work the
transmission back and forth between Drive
and Reverse to work out any air pockets.
Then repeat step 2 until the proper fluid
level is achieved.
Knowing
the transmission fluid level is important.
Knowing the condition of the fluid is equally
as important. Transmission fluid should
be red in color with no parched or burnt
odor. As transmission fluid loses its lubrication
properties and friction modifiers, it tends
to become brown in color. A transmission
tune up service should be completed every
15,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes
first.
If you ever have any questions about your
transmission please contact us at (407)
322-8415 or email us at HBT1959@bellsouth.net.
