Check with vehicle on level ground Engine at normal operating temperature Start @ park Shift to Reverse Shift to Neutral Shift to Drive Shift to Low Shift to park Then check Level on dipstick DO NOT OVERFILL
Check the transmission fluid level. You can only get an accurate reading on this if it is checked with the engine running and has been run for like 5 miles or so. Checking the transmission fluid when cold gives a false reading as ALL the fluid has drained into the pan.
transmission fluid is checked with the car cooled off -never when running-(daddmac)
All fluids should be checked when you purchase fuel. All fluids except for the transmission fluid should be checked with the engine off and at operating temperature. The transmission fluid should be checked the engine running and the transmission in PARK if automatic or NEUTRAL if manual.
Ever checked the transmission fluid levels? That can only be checked while the engine is running and at normal operating temperature. The tranny fluid could also be contaminated and need flushing - be sure to change the transmission filter, too.
my 05' cavalier has a bad alternator problem its charging the battery a little bit then stops and the little power my battery has is drained by the end of the night. I replaced the alternator twice and the battery but still no difference.
Hopefully if you are thinking of adding transmission fluid that means that you checked it..If so you are in luck, you put the trans fluid in the same place you checked it. However you have to get a transmission fluid funnel, also you need to ensure that you check it correctly. If you read the dipstick then it should have directions on how to check it. It should be checked in "park" with the engine running.
Yes, i believe the auto model has the transmission fluid running thru the rad to cool it
Answer There is a dip stick at the back of the engine. Start your engine first, let it run and check your transmission oil level. You only check transmission oil levels when the engine is running, other oil levels have to be checked when the engine is warm to hot but not running.
is it standard if so it will be underneath and it gets checked warm but not running
where is the daytime running light relay located on a 2002 chevy cavalier
Okay, You know where the transmission fluid dipstick is? You get a funnel, and pour the transmission fluid right into the little tube you pulled the dipstick out of. Be sure to have the car running when you check the transmission fluid level; if the car is turned off you will get false readings. (Remember though that the oil can only be accurately checked when the car is not running.)
