For VTi variable transmission, only use DEX-CVT (P/N 22688912). 4 cylinder only I think
For automatic transmission use only Saturn T-IV Fluid (P/N 22689186). 6 cylinder only I think.
This information is from my 2003 2.2 Saturn Vue owner's manual
Check your owner's manual index for 'Transmission Fluid' to be sure.
If you use the wrong fluid it can cause permanent damage to your transmission. If in doubt fork over the $ and let an authorized Saturn dealer do the work. If your dealer has closed call a GM dealer.
Hope this helps
how do I put transmission fluid in a Saturn vue
How do you check the transmission fluid on a 2003 Saturn vue
You do not need to change the transmission fluid in the Saturn vue. It is a sealed system and only needs to be replaced when the trans needs rebuilding.
it uses a Delco synthetic transmission fluid on the CVT 4 cylinder transmission and ATF on the V6
How much transmission to replace new?
7.2L
Take it to a Goodwrench certfied shop. The transmission in the Saturn Vue has no dipstick, so requires service by a certified mechanic. Unless you have a leak, which you would obviously see, there is no need to check the fluid level.
i have a 2003 Saturn vue and there is no dipstick for the transmission fluid. its a plug. you have to take you car to a shop and get them to check it... i know it sounds crazy. but they usually have to put it on a lift to get to it.
To check the transmission fluid in a 2004 Saturn Vue, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is running. Locate the transmission dipstick, usually found near the back of the engine bay, and remove it. Wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, then remove it again to check the fluid level; it should be within the marked range. If necessary, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the dipstick tube.
Per the 2006 Saturn Vue Owner's Manual, it says every 100,000 miles for 'normal' service, every 50,000 miles for 'severe' service.
To change the transmission filter on a 2003 Saturn Vue 2.2, first ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and supported. Drain the transmission fluid by removing the pan bolts, then carefully take off the transmission pan. Once the pan is removed, locate the filter, detach it from the transmission, and replace it with a new one. Reinstall the pan with a new gasket, refill the transmission with the appropriate fluid, and check for leaks.
Yes and I would suggest the sooner the better, no later then 50,000 miles. If it is more then this you will need to do it twice. The first time is to flush it clean. You are looking at $150 - $300 to have this done. The transmission is weak on the Vue.
