Thank you for taking the time to do this. Just changed mine at 202000 miles. First time. No longer red was black like oil. 12mm hex drain tube was stripping. Another fella on Facebook recommended vice grips with hammer. It worked. He said it happened to him on his first change. I plan to do again on next oil change,at least 3 more times to get a good dilution of used oil. Thanks again.
Minor tip on checking temperature, most mechanics have one of those cheap IR laser pointers that would work well to check the temp on the pan, which should be close or a few degrees lower that the internals, and if your close to 160F by touch you should get a burn pretty quick if not wearing gloves, thanks for another great video Cory, I let the dealer do a flush with my Amsoil, but ill be doing mine myself after watching your video, I assumed there was more to it running through the gears than just manual shifting with brakes depressed, I assumed the drivetrain needed to move. That and not understanding the fill procedure exactly. Thanks Man!!!!
I will definitely invest in one of those infrared guns. It would be beneficial to have. I'm glad that you found my video and hopefully you can do the fluid change yourself next time. How much did the dealer charge you for that service if you don't mind me asking?
@@Corysdiyauto Its been a few years and my driving is now much less, but it wasn't cheap considering I provided the fluid. $75-100 if I remember correctly.
Oh boy. I’m at 120k. Put about 500-1k miles on it per week. Never changes xmsn fluid yet. Brought it to a Chevy at 100k to have them do it and they convinced me otherwise. Guess it’s time now though lol
Very similar to the process on most volvo's as well as drain, replace fluid over and over and watch the fill level at the end. It appears most Aisin transmissions need this and total bullshit that the fluid is for life. Will be doing this very shortly on my Cruze TD
I bought a Mightyvac fluid extractor to help make this process easier on my truck. But after watching this video I feel like it should make doing it on my Cruze a lot easier than jacking it up and cutting holes in plastic and all of that garbage lol. But the only thing I don't know, is if I stick the sucky tube into the fill port will it reach the bottom of the transmission to pump out most of the fluids? I just don't know how direct that hole is to the bottom of the transmission, if it is at all. I mean I guess I can just try it and if I get close to 2-3 quarts out it's pretty close to empty? Then maybe re-fill and drive around and do it again to dilute the rest of the fluids from the lines and get those mostly cleared out. I just don't really wanna crawl under it especially because it's cold and my garage is full of other stuff lol.
dedalliance1 - I don't know if you can stick the hose from the mightyvac in the fill plug hole? It might fit, but it might not reach the bottom. I wouldn't want to chance it , but that's just me. You might have success getting all of the fluid out that way, but just make sure that you put the same amount of fluid back in. I would just drain it from the bottom. It's not that bad, haha.
The Mighty Vac is a great way to replace the old fluid, the hose fits all the way to the bottom. I just notice how much on the scale of the mighty vac I drain out, and replace with same amount. Worked great.
Sir would like to ask the size fit of your flex funnel tube. I have the same vehicle as well. Also sir where did you order your transmission drainage gasket? Thank you and God bless
I am looking at this very vehicle where I am, it is @ $9k. Felt very nice, just felt uneasy about the auto transmission because car facts didn't have anything about the transmission @ 140k miles. But with this I feel like I can buy it and change the fluid myself to catch up. With the lifetime claim I feel like this trans can handle the lack of change for that long no? I shifted well, one rough shift from 1st to 2nd in my test drive, but that's not picking
I would be more concerned about the diesel emissions equipment than the transmission. The DEF tank heater is a weak point, but also easy enough to replace.
Thanks for the video! Question - How would I completely get rid of the OEM fluid and fill it fresh with AMSOIL? Like just fill it and let the car run and go through all the gears 3 times or drain and fill the oil and mix it with the old oil then drive it for 10+ miles and repeat the same process again? Thanks!
PierceGamingNews - I just did the drain/fill process 3 times while I had the car up in the air. This worked well for me, but it's up to you. Make sure you drive the car before you start, so that everything is warm. Also, when adding the new fluid, let the car run for awhile and shift through the P R N D a few times to get the fluid moving and up to operating temp.
And then there is me, heavy equipment mechanic and I am like many mechanics... Overlook there own vehicles cause "it will be fine" and I am getting around to this at 130k miles lol
You missed one step. After you fill it back up and pull the plug to let it drain out. You are supposed to put the plug back in and then top up with half a qt of transmission fluid.
Nick Mikitka - Yes, you're right. I didn't do that the first time, but I do it now. I don't know how much that half quart really matters though since you have a tolerance of +/- a half a quart. Good catch though and thanks for the comment!
Q: Why not just sucks it out from top rather than drain it (suck it out from filler in front of the manufacturers tag and replace with same amount of fluid removed??)
Hi Cory Thanks a lot for this video. It’s literally a life saver. One thing though, I didn’t hear you mention anything about Transmission Filter? I own a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze diesel. Thank you
@@Corysdiyauto no clue. I just don't think he put enough in. Or ran it through the gears like you did. Unless I'm busy I do all of my work on my vehicles. I just don't think the mechanic working for him knew yhe proper procedure. Is what it is. If you want it done right, do it yourself.
@@Corysdiyauto it clunks into gear when I'm sitting at a light or stop sign and try to go so I feel that it's low on fluid. Shifts through the gears fine.
@@BigInjun05 Mine does that now. That’s why I came to watch this video. I’m trying to figure out why it does that. It’s been doing that for the last 50k miles (since I bought it). I was thinking changing the fluid should fix that but maybe I’m wrong. 🤔
Hi there, thank you very much for making this video. I plan to do this very soon to my 2014 Cruze TD. I was wondering if you happen to know the part #’s for the fill plug and both drain plugs? Had issues in the past stripping oil drain plug and just want to have these plugs on standby just in case. Any info would be helpful. Thanks again.
Mr. Unknown - You're welcome! I don't know what the part numbers are for the fill and drain plugs. I will have to do a little research on that. They came off fairly easily though. I know what you mean about the oil pan drain plug. I had one that was stripped as well.
Mr. Unknown - I got the part numbers for the fill plug and drain plug. Fill plug: 11099271 Drain plug: 93183573 I actually had to call the dealer to get them. I couldn't find them anywhere.
Hello. My car has a T40 (star) headed bolt, GM 11099271. How does your car have an allen headed bolt? Did you replace with an aftermarket bolt with the hex head? Part #?
do you have a video showing the radiator removal? I removed the "baffles on the side thinking they would be easy to replace but can't figure out how they go back in!!! The shop manual doesn't show them.
The transmission is still shifting great 👍. Chevrolet says that the transmission fluid is good for the life of the vehicle. I disagree with that, so that's why I decided to change it.
How many miles are on your car? I just did my timing belt at 97,000 miles. Figured I'd change the trans oil soon too. I've got 9 quarts of the Amsoil ready to do exactly as in your description. After that, maybe pull the drain every 30k for ~3qts.
Aaron Krul - I have 103,000 on it now. I'm going to change it once a year from here on out. It's my wife's car and she drives a lot, about 25,000 miles per year.
Re booter - I would purchase 3 gallons. I bought a case of 4 gallons just so I had extra for the next fluid change. It's always better to have more than enough!
Joe Giglia - I completed the process 3 times to try and get rid of most of the old ATF. The transmission is still shifting nice and smooth. I highly recommend doing this.
I dont understand why even add the extra half quart at 18:30 if your just gonna let it all drain back out again. You added that half quart cause it wasnt streaming out when you checked but then you drain it until the stream breaks?????????
Morty - I added the fluid to obtain the correct level. The first time that the drain plug was removed, there wasn't any fluid that came out, so I knew that I was too low and needed to add fluid. There isn't a dipstick on this transmission, so unfortunately you have to waste a little bit of fluid while doing this.
I did not see where you took a temp of the trans to get the proper level. The procedure requires the temp to be no lower than 130 and no higher than 140. ObdII scanners can get the transmission temps, or at worst, use an infrared heat gun.
David James - I didn't take a temp of the transmission. I did this after a 20 mile drive, so everything was at operating temperature. I just let the fluid circulate for awhile to warm up after I changed it. I would think I would be pretty close. There's a tolerance of +/- a half quart, so the level doesn't have to be that exact.
Ok. Thanks for getting back. Currently, a 4 gallon box of AMSOIL signature series aw1 trans fluid is $177.xx with free shipping straight from AMSOIL. I joined their 6 month membership thinking the price would drop 25%, but it stayed the same! Do you think that is still a good deal? I recall you saying you got a case for less. Please share your findings on getting a better deal.....
@@davidjames666 - I didn't buy the signature series ATF, which is a little more expensive. I purchased the OE fuel efficient ATF on eBay. Did you check there?
Cory Mondics A case of 4 gallon box of 4 is $108 straight from AMSOIL straight from their website with the preferred customer discount of 25% and free shipping on orders of $100 or more. To be a preferred customer is $10 for a 6 month trial then a year for $20 there after. Maybe worth it for you to sign up especially if you plan on using amsoil regularly without the excessive markup of AMSOIL which technically should be sold anywhere other than a Dealer or the Website itself. Best of luck and hope your Cruze the best. Which I have myself. Im looking to get it to a million miles.
fadi k - You have the 6T30 (MH9) transmission. The fluid capacity is about 7.6 liters or about 8 quarts and it takes Dexron VI fluid. You'll never drain all of the fluid out, so be careful on refilling! The video that I made shows a totally different transmission, so you can't follow the same procedure on changing the fluid. I've never changed the fluid in the 6T30 before, but I'm sure that you will be able to find something out there on how to do it. I hope this helps you!
Jarrett Larsen - I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully you didn't drain the fluid out yet! This seems to be a common problem. They must over tighten it from the factory. If you can weld, then it's possible to weld a nut or bolt on top and then loosen it that way. I would try to cut a slot in it and try to use a large flat head screwdriver and then grab a hammer and try to break it loose. Maybe somebody has a better idea? Good luck with it and let me know what you end up doing.
