Fully reinstall, then remove the dipstick. Note the level of fluid...should be between the "add" and "full" marks, not be dark or smell burnt.
How do you check transmission fluid in a 2003 Toyota Solara?
Since you're asking about transmission 'fluid' rather than lubricant I'll guess you're asking about an automatic transmission. Look under the hood and you'll find two dipsticks (locations are different for the 4 and 6 cylinder engines). One dipstick is for checking oil, the other is for transmission fluid. With the engine completely warmed to full operating temperature remove the transmission dipstick, wipe it off, reinsert fully then remove again. Check the level. If it's low you can add fluid but if you've never changed transmission fluid in your '03 it's due for a full flush and refill anyway. If the level checks ok look carefully at the color of the fluid. If it's bright red you're in good shape. If it's dark colored and especially if it smells burned then you're definitely ready for a trip to the transmission shop. Cheers
How do you change transmission fluid in 1999 Saturn SW2?
You can easily change some of the fluid by removing the transmission oil pan; just make certain that you have something that is large enough to catch the fluid. However, if you want to fully change the fluid, you need to pump it through the valve body and torque converter, using some very expensive equipment.
How do you add transmission fluid to 2004 Toyota solara?
In automatic transmission equipped vehicles, the transmission fluid is added through the dipstick tube. The only reason to add fluid is during a complete fluid change. If your fluid level appears to be low first make sure you're reading the level correctly. The transmission/engine should be fully up to operating temperature (drive at least 15 minutes) and the engine must be running when you check the level. If those two requirements aren't met, you'll get a false reading. Cheers

1993 BMW 325 check automatic transmission fluid?
Depends on the transmission it has. If it has a GM transmission, there may be a dipstick in the engine compartment. In that case, with the car at operating temp pull the stick, wipe it off reinsert it and remove it again. Measure the amount of fluid from the base of the stick, if filled correctly, the top of the fluid will be between 1 and 1-1/2 inches from the base of the stick. All others require you to lift the vehicle and check it via the check-and-fill plug on the transmission or pan. Start the car without fully warming up the engine, remove the plug, then see if fluid runs out. If no fluid runs out, the transmission is low. Never allow the transmission to warm up fully while checking it, or you'll get a bad reading on these types of transmissions. Note: All 1993 BMW 325s use regular old Dexron III trans fluid. Nothing special is needed.
How do you check the fluid level on your transmission in my 2000 Chevy blazer?

What is transmission fluid?
An oil like fluid that exists within the sealed transmission on a car. It's this fluid that allows the car to shift gears smoothly when driving in a forward direction. Without this fluid the car will not engage into any gear. To check the level of the transmission fluid the engine MUST be at normal operating temperature (like after a 5 or 10 mile run) and with the engine idling in neutral/park AND with the break set. Pull the dipstick and wipe clean, then insert fully and pull out again to read the level..It is very important that you do not overfill the transmission ... too much transmission fluid is just as harmful as not having enough. Add little amounts at a time and keep checking the fluid level all the while with the engine idling.If you check this fluid without the engine running you will get a false reading. You cannot measure the transmission level unless the engine is running and at normal operating temperature.

What type of transmission fluid do you use in a ford escort ZX2?
if you look in your manual it will tell you what to use if not i use the oem and you can call napa and they can tell you what to use I would use a Mercon type 5 transmission fluid. The automatics in these cars are hard on the fluid. The Mobil 1 fully synthetic is a good choice. Kind of pricey at $7.00 a quart, but a whole lot cheaper than a rebuild. Change the filter and keep the level where it says to on the dipstick. Check it hot and with the engine idling. Improved answer?: Hayes manual says Mercon, which has now been replaced with a general use fluid called ATF. Also the recommended Transmission Fluid is usually stamped into the dipstick for your transmission.
