The car in the video is a Saturn Vue 3.5L AWD 2007. However, the procedures shown in the video will apply to most vehicles and applications.
Transmission Filter
I failed to mention in the video that the MJ7/MJ8 transmission does have a filter, however, it is not servicable very easily at all. You would have to remove the transmission to get access to this.
Recommended transmission fluid change intervals varies between 30,000 and 50,000 miles. One of the main reasons for transmission failures is overheating. This means, if you tow a trailer or drive in a mountainous area, change the fluid more often.

This video is a transmission fluid CHANGE. It is part of routine maintenance.
A FLUSH is completely different. You have the option to FLUSH when CHANGE has been neglected. You can learn how to do a FLUSH here: ruclips.net/video/TFfZ76UlNYg/видео.html

You can determine the transmission fitted by looking at the RPO (Regular Production Options) sticker. GM calls it the Service Parts ID (SPID) label. This is located on the lower edge of the Driver's side rear door. It lists about 50 codes for all the options installed on each vehicle. They are listed alphabetically. You will see MJ7 or MJ8 there if it has the 3.5L engine. MJ7 is found in the front wheel drive vehicles and MJ8 in the AWD units.
Great tip! Thank you
I have a 2006 saturn vue with the same 3.5L engine. I'm so thankful for your videos, they're extremely helpful!
Max life etc is the best compatible trans fluid! Many people think it's superior to the OEM Honda fluid
This is a fantastic video, can’t thank you enough for your time and video. It helped me a lot. Thank you again sir!
Very welcome! 😊
Thanks for the Vue. It is relevant to my 2007 Vue V6 with 120k miles. After 20 min soaking with WD-40, the drain bolt did not yield. My 3/8" extension's head snapped off. Head head jammed the socket. I tried a different way using a hand pump to suck the oil out of the dipstick port. Only 2.9 L came out, far less than draining.
You'll never be able to get it all out that way, but at least its a partial change.
I uploaded a video on how to do a full flush, maybe you should check that out. It drains more than the drain bolt.
I hope you subscribe to my channel soon
Genius!!❤❤
Thank you! :)
@@TutorialGenius Anytime!!
Keep that Genius coming!!! Muuuaaahhh
great video, thank you! -Klaatu and I should be able to handle this... p.s. you're camera is nice! -i used my old galaxy S3 for most of my vids...lol
Thanks for watching! Hope it helped!
Thank you for making this horrid car easy to understand.
Thanks for watching! If it helped, please like and sub! Thank you!
Honda transmissions of this type have a 17mm plug with a crush washer on the top rear of the transmission for fluid fill. This video shows the location at the five minute mark. ruclips.net/video/in2EJ1cz7cU/видео.html Hope this is helpful.
MJ7 is the V6 FWD
MJ8 is the V6 AWD
Is that transmission reliable for daily use with proper drain and refill?
Looking to purchase one this weekend!
Hi, can you do a video of Transfer Case and Rear Differential Fluid Change on your Saturn Vue 2007 please. I got confuse on mine, its Front Wheel Drive and i cant see the Transfer case and Rear Diff in the bottom. Im not sure where it is.
Hang on a sec... You have a FWD but you're looking for a rear diff? you will never find it lol
Do the redline transmissions have a filter in it ?
Are you in Calif I'm having prob with my Tanny 2003 Saturn Vue 2.2 ?
Hey man how did your fluid changes hold up in September of 2023. Anything to note or look out for?
It looks pretty good to be honest! But I did a flush on it as well (I have another video on that).
After the flush, and a few years later, looking good!
@@TutorialGenius LETS GO!!! The DW-1 extremist took a L on this one😂. I just knew valvoline would work. It says on the back all the formulas it works so I really needed to know. Now I’m not going to start throwing universal fluid in all my cars not particularly the high end cars I sell but definitely for my Hondas there ruff and tuff. there going to get the VALVO-CASTROL Special. Thank you for the reply 🙏🏾 enjoy beautiful shifting bro 😎 you deserve it you took that risk.
wow, I'm sorry to hear that!
if it says ATF-Z1 on the back, it should always be fine in these!
Its also pretty much the only ATF-Z1 fluid in Wal-Mart, it wasn't easy to find!
At least you took a risk and learnt a lesson, thats what's most important!
A lot of people are not big enough to admit mistake, so you're winning there!

Cuantos litros lleva la transmicion
Do you check the level with the car off and in park?
Depends on the year, make and model. Sometimes the dip stick has a warm AND a cold level.
If 5 Quarts came out why did you put 9 back in ?
Can you provide timestamps of both of these instances please? I assume I was doing another job at the same time
Do they have a filter???? Mine has 276k on her. And still shifts fine
hi, I already covered this in the video. Did you watch it all the way through?
quick answer: its not serviceable
Excuse me, can you indicate where the bayonet goes to check the transmission oil level?
A bayonet !? Don't you mean the machete?
@@s34nvideos according to what they told me that he has a bayonet but I don't Belice and that's what I saw in your video!!
could be a sabre!
👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸
Where is the filter located?
I touched on this in the video pal!
Well done video. Biggest problem I'm having is finding the right fluid.. The green high millage says different models on it. You REALLY. Have to read the back. Google for yourself to see what I mean. The bottle looks exactly the same but has different applications. Check other places. You'll see I'm right. Z-1 is no longer made. Dw-1 is the replacement. I can't seem to find either locally.
Why don't you just answer the question I've seen several people ask where is the filter
I've never changed transmission fluid without changing the filter.
Not all transmissions have serviceable filters, like the one in the video
