Automatic Transmission
Fluid
When
to
Check and Change
A
good time to check your automatic transmission fluid level
is
when the
engine
oil
is changed. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
when
to
change your fluid. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services”
in
the
Index.
How
to
Check
Because this operation can be
a
little difficult, you may choose to
have
this
done at a
GM
dealership Service Department.
If
you
do it yourself, be sure
to
follow all the instructions here, or
you
could
get
a
false reading
on
the dipstick.
NOTICE:
Too
much or too little fluid can damage your transmission.
Too
much can mean that some of the fluid could come out and fall on
hot engine parts or exhaust system, starting
a
fire. Be sure to get
an accurate reading if you check your transmission fluid.
