Where do i fill my transmission fluid in Grand Am?
The transmission fluid in an automatic transmission is added through the same tube that the dipstick sits in. For adding fluid, it is best to purchase a long-neck funnel, which is made just for this purpose. Be careful not to overfill the transmission. Always check the fluid level with the engine running, the transmission in either 'park' or 'neutral', and the vehicle on level ground.

What kind of transmission fluid goes in 1998 Mazda 626?
Checking and adding Tranny fluid.There is a dipstick for the transmission fluid on all automatic transmissions, which is separate from the engine oil dipstick. The tube the dipstick sits in is the only place where fluid can be added. You will probably need the funnel with the really long, skinny neck, to be able to get the fluid into the tube. Be careful not to overfill the transmission, and be sure that you have the right kind of transmission fluid. The automatic transmission fluid level should be checked with the engine running, the transmission in Park or Neutral, and on a level surface. DO NOT PUT ENGINE OIL IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION!

Do you check the transmission fluid level on a 1999 Malibu 3.1L When the car is on or off or in park or neurtal its got the plug on the passanger side of the transmission?
Fluid level in an automatic transmission should always be checked with the vehicle on a level surface, with the engine running, and the transmission selector in either Park or Neutral. There is a dipstick for the transmission, located somewhere in the engine compartment. It may be near the firewall, (the rear of the engine compartment,) or near the fender. Do not remove any plugs from the transmission, as these are usually for draining the fluid out of the transmission. If fluid needs to be added, you will have to have a long neck funnel, which you can purchase at most hardware stores, or any auto parts store. The fluid is added by inserting the neck of the funnel into the tube the dipstick sits in, and adding fluid slowly, with the engine running. Check the level frequently, and do not overfill.
