I just performed a fluid and filter change on my 23 Sierra with LZO with 30k miles. Diesel does not require the exhaust work due to single exhaust. It’s still a chore with a lot of up and down when doing this in the garage under the truck but it can be done if you’re up for it. I reused the filter bolts, could not find them online or locally at any dealer. I got a Vevor fluid pump on Amazon. Worked great. Getting the drain plug on after fill is a PITA. I put in about 8.5 qts and then brought it up to 167 and pulled the plug. Quite bit ran out until I had a steady flow and I plugged it up. If I could get this done for $200 or less I’d let em have it.

I too also used a whole bunch of wobble extensions to get the job done....OMG I have burn marks all over my hands and arms because of lack of remembering the exhaust is HOT when checking the fill - You should have seen me freaking out as I did not put in 8 qts at first, started the truck, got to 167 and then pulled the plug only to see I was short - mad rush to fill it to avoid any damage - Love your trick to fill with a seal, then let it get warm - Very Clever@@MasterJacks

Great video. Would you recommend flush/fluid exchange that the dealer can do along with the new oil and filter, or pan drop, oil, and filter only?

@MasterJacks 3 ай бұрын

Thanks! I'm in favor of the complete fluid exchange, however the pan drop and filter service on this transmission exchanges 8 of the 12 quarts (67%). That's pretty good! If you are doing this every 50k as recommended, I don't imagine ever having transmission problems.

On the older models, there was a little more space and you could sometimes work the pan out. On this one, there isn't enough clearance for the pan to drop far enough to clear the filter and valve body. Not very maintenance friendly

How often should you do this? I came to the dealer, and they quoted me $800. They also said I didn't need it until I hit the 100,000, I am on 50,000 right now. I don't know what to believe. Another dealer told me it is possible to change fluid without dropping the pan. They charge me $380. They also said I should drop the pan when I hit 100,000. But how can they change the fluid if there is not a drain bolt 🤔

@offroader4715 Ай бұрын

They flush the oil through a set of kidney filters. I was quoted $380 for the flush also and $1000 for the filter change

@nickrinaldi4276 2 ай бұрын

Just curious. I was told the trans fluid spec was like 157F. Just to avoid that, wouldn't it be easier to measure how much fluid came out, and just adding the amount?

@MasterJacks 2 ай бұрын

You could do that as a starting point, but It's better if you get it up to temp and check it with it running to be sure it's accurate. To get it up to temp, you can do converter stalls (foot on brake, shift into drive, rev engine to 1300-1500 RPM for 10 sec on, then 10 seconds off watching trans temp on display until temp reaches 160F). Then with it still running (in Park), check and adjust level as needed. This video shows converter stalls doing the same thing, but on a GM. Start watching at 7:50. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r-Bzqdhyr6vVmIk.htmlsi=dvWfO0ekAEFG3Vyc

I believe just under $150 for fluid, filter, pan gasket, and exhaust gaskets. $400 sounds quite reasonable!

Hello there, Great video my friend. but man, the gas version has that Exhaust pipe in a way and what a pain in the butt to change the transmission fluid while removing all kinds of parts out of the way. Anyway, I have a 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 3.0L Duramax and the transmission at these pick up truck is not obstructed by anything apparently l, so it is easier to remove the pan. Now, this is my story. I just recently ordered through Amazon my Al Delco Transmission Fluid and since the Amazon suggested that the Dextron VI transmission fluid fits my car then I went ahead and purchased 12 qts since I am changing the pan with a deep PPE pan. Now I went ahead and changed the transmission fluid and place the Dextron VI already, as well as went through all the process and temperatures too.. Drive it for about 4/5 miles and then parked it. The second day, I went ahead and watch few videos including yours and I realized that the AlDelco Dextron VI is NOT the correct fluid for this 10L80 transmission. Instead I need the Dextron ULV 10-4107 I think it is the bottle saying. As soon as I saw that then I drain the transmission again immediately and replaced it with the correct Dextron ULV type. Went through the whole process again and drove the truck again for about 10 miles. Everything seems fine for now, but there is most likely more fluid left inside the Torques Convertor as I would imagine since I could not drain everything. So at this point it is mixed with the Dextron VI. Since I can’t flush the transmission for now, then I am planing to removed it again later on and add again 9 quarts of new Dextron ULV so that the fluid left inside the Torque Converter will be replace with new fluid and have less Dextron VI left overall inside… Damn Amazon have this message stating that this Dextron VI fit my vehicle so I got to table mislead and went though all this headache. I am hoping that everything will be fine in the end while repeating this process again so that the incorrect fluid will be removed as much as possible.. Geez! What a damn nightmare and believe the Amazon posted message.
