∙ 13y agoThe transmission fluid can only be added/changed by a dealer or someone with the proper tools to check the fluid level. There is no dipstick for the transmission. I have 89000 km on my LS & am wondering at what mileage to get the fluid changed.

∙ 11y agoYou can. of course just drop the pan and change the filter, then re-fill new fluid through the dipstick tube. I don't like that as it leaves a lot of old fluid in the torque convertor.
To remove as much of the old fluid as possible, leave the pan on, remove a trans cooler line at the radiator, put a drain pan under it, then start the engine for a few seconds to find out which way the fluid is flowing. It doesn't matter which line you use except that you have to attach a small clear hose either to the line connector or the radiator outlet in order to collect the fluid. Put the hose into a 4-5 gallon bucket and let the engine idle in park, fluid will come out, - After a minute or two. you can pour new fluid slowly into the dipstick tube and watch for the fluid to change colour as the new fluid comes through. This trans will hold 13 litres or so and will take 7-10 minutes to run through. Once you see a flow of new fluid, switch off, re-connect the rad line. This way, you have removed the 6-8 litres that usually remains in the torque convertor after a 'pan change'. - Now, I like to change the filter also, so at this point I remove the pan carefully as it's full of new fluid, change the filter, drain the pan into a clean bucket and check the bottom of pan carefully before wiping it and re-fitting it back on. Now I strain this fluid through filter paper then pour it down the dipstick tube. Now start the engine and measure fluid in a minute or two and adjust to recommended level. This operation costs around 400 in garages.
