@@fastdeliveryl708 It's up to you. If you want actual data, you can have the old fluid analyzed by companies like Blackstone Labs to see how much life is left in it and know for sure instead of guessing. Many factors such as how and where the vehicle is driven, the transmission's internal wear, which fluid is used, etc drastically affect the fluid's longevity, so accurately estimating it's condition just by mileage is impossible. If it was that simple, oil analysis labs wouldn't exist.

104,000 miles on the original filter in my 2019 silverado. Just today , September 9th 2023, I popped out the filter just to make sure it's not cracked. Popped it back in, topped off the 5 gts I drained with fresh fluid. I don't even need to move the heat shield to get at the fill plug anymore. I get in there with bent pliers and pop it out, insert some tuning into the hole, and fill from the engine compartment with a funnel into the tubing. Works great.

Awesome! Thank you for clarifying the differences. My old mechanic told me once before he retired...you don’t need to change the trans filter unless there is a problem (dirty and burn odor fluid) as long as you change the trans fluid regularly (drain/fill)

@averyalexander2303 2 жыл бұрын

I agree, the problems begin when the fluid ISN'T changed regularly. But if the transmission doesn't have a drain plug on the pan as many do not, the pan has to be removed to drain the fluid anyways. And once the pan is removed, I'd personally just spend the ~$20 replacing the filter for piece of mind. If the pan had a drain plug, I'd just drop the pan, clean the magnets, and change the filter every few drain and fills. Those filters do last a while since they don't accumulate soot and other combustion byproducts like engine oil filters do, but the filter and magnets do accumulate debris over time from internal wear and I just feel better getting that crap out of the transmission from time to time.

I agree with changing fluid regularly, I use Amsoil Signature series , which doubles intervals but, if you don't change that trans filter and it's half plugged up, that trans will starve itself from fluid, burning up the wear plates, petroleum based fluids break down quick in towing or high stress, which in turn creates particles.

On GM 6L80 or 90 transmissions with the incorrect software program for TCC lockup you should definitely change the trans filter when having the transmission serviced because it will be starting to clog with friction material even after just 30k miles. Also make sure to have a competent transmission repair place reprogram the lockup settings so that the TCC is actually locking instead of just partially locking, which is the reason for the friction material to prematurely be destroyed and clogging the transmission filter. Great video, I wish there was an easier way to catalog all this important information other than random videos online.😊

I can not agree with your advice not to change ATF filter. You sound like Dealership. It is definitely good to drop the transmission pan every 50 000 - 60 000 km and clean all dirt inside and 2 magnets with metal shavings. And once the big job is done, and you are already there, why not to remove 2 bolts and replace the filter. I think in your theory will believe only people who never removed the ATF pan and didn't see all dirt inside. I am sure all dealership will love your advice.

You serving your cars good, that is why I was surprised to hear your opinion regarding the ATF filter and pan removing.

Informative. Our Silverado 1500 we use for towing our camper has almost 60k on it. Noticed some random rumbling when doing certain speeds. Got the transmission fluid flushed. Not the whole pan drop and filter replace.Just the basic. Cost about $350 compared to over $600. Fluid was black. Not it is driving way better and normal. Think I may do the full service around the 85k-100k mile marker next time just to replace the filter and clean the magnets since the fluid was in bad shape when changing. But this video is an eye opener and will save me money on Challenger Scat Pack. That car has 65k on it. All it needs is a transmission flush, not the full drop. Like you said, does the filter really need a change? Not at 65k for a car used on the highway a bunch. Once again, just more price scams by places trying to upcharge you on stuff thats not needed.

I'd like to throw this out there for comments. I have a 2018 Escalade. At 15000 miles I went ahead and replaced front and read differential fluids and transfer case fluids. I used Amsoil. For oil I use Mobile 1. So now at 19000 I thought Id get the transmission fluid changed with the thought in mind that now that the truck has been driven and any initial wear on fluids or parts is done I'd be set for another 30000 miles. I just didn't have the guts to do the transmission myself, because these new transmissions in GM products a PITA to do. The pan is difficult to remove and filling it is difficult and the whole temperature thing. Anyway I bought the Amsoil fluid and took it to my mechanic yesterday. When I came back to pick the truck up he said all done no problems but he didn't use my fluid. He put the ac delco ALV, it is what GM calls for but he says he's afraid the Amsoil will damage the transmission and he doesn't want to be responsible for that. It's too late now but I won't be asking him to do anything again if he's just going to do what he wants.

I came across this video as I'm searching for part numbers for my wife's 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage G4, it just hit 30k miles so I want to do the 30k service on the CVT fluid. Anyway, that Jatco CVT has a small cartridge filter with an o-ring and has a pickup filter in the sump/pan like the one you have here. Trying to find exploded parts diagrams for Mitsubishi is not easy, Toyota and Honda definitely much easier for some reason. On my 2003 Honda Odyssey, it has 176k miles in the odometer with the original transmission, apparently never failed at 60k like it's supposed to. Since I can't replace the pickup filter because it's sealed, there is a cartridge filter that's behind that battery that almost no one knows about. I did change that one at about 150k miles. Otherwise I change the fluid every other year with genuine Honda fluid and I've never had any transmission trouble and tell you what I use it for work, I have all the seats removed but I fill it up with packages, sometimes I'm not so nice and I'll do a FWD peel out from a stop, that 3.5L VTEC is sweet, don't know why they put it into a minivan. So while I've done the preventative maintenance on it I don't baby it either but there she is, still shifts like a champ.

I bought a 2008 Nissan Altima. I wanted to change the cvt fluid since it had 151,000 kilometres and who knows if it was ever changed. So I went ahead and bought Amsoil cvt fluid and did a drain and fill. The transmission mechanic even cleaned the filter and bottom of the pan for me. Unfortunately the old fluid was black and did not seem to be changed at all. I’m currently at 185,000km with no issues. I’ll be doing another drain and fill when I hit 200,000km. I would recommend Amsoil fluid for everything in your vehicle, it’s really good stuff. I should add that I took the car to a Nissan stealership for a cvt diagnostic before the drain and fill. They told me it would fail at 160,000 and I should get it replaced before then for $5000 CAD. Even though I’ve never had any issues with my car, and still don’t after the drain and fill.

If your trans pan has a drain bolt plug just keep on draining your used fluid and gradually adding new fluid every now and then until the older fluid will be totally purged out even after you changed out the fluid again at 200km, there still will be the some original old fluid left in a small amount in the system ,,Drain a quart at 7000 km and fill it with a new one and then a do it again at 7000 km and maybe a third one after that and you should be running totally on Amsoil CVT by then with a much better shifting cvt .

New sub here, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience! I have a 2003 Toyota Highlander 3.0 4x4 with 268,000 miles on it. I don't know if the Transmission filter has ever been changed but the fluid has been changed and it smells like Lucas Trans-Fix which smells a lot like gear oil. I want to do a drain and fill but I would like your opinion before I do it. The transmission does not slip during take-off from a stop. However the shift from 1st into 2nd is a little bit sloppy. Should I use synthetic fluid or conventional? Should I add Lucas Trans-Fix because someone has already done that? I used Lucas in a 1994 Volvo 940 with a slipping AW-71 transmission, and the Lucas stopped the slipping. Should I replace the filter or not? Your opinion is appreciated...Thanks!

@repairvehicle 2 жыл бұрын

Your transmission is already slipping due to lack of atf changes. Adding Lucas might help for short time, might not. Lucas is just a bandage to cover the real problem but it doesn't solve the problem. Your transmission has a lot wear that Lucas cannot add worn-out material back and restore to original factory specs. Changing fluid and filter might help for short time, might not. At this point you can try changing atf or just replace the transmission.

If this was true, majority of transmission shops would be closed by now, due no transmission repairs needed. As a bare minimum, drain and fill. Also, strongly recommend synthetic atf.

To me it looks like the cloth type over time will eventually get to saturated with debris from the small transmission shavings and not be able to work as it did therefore needing replacement . But the metal screen type looks like it will last and not need replacement due to it not breaking down from years of use due to its metal construction .

Been running great but perhaps shifts a tad slow in the past yr. Did the fluid drain posted videos of that. Did 3x fluid drains, so probably 95% of old fluid is replaced.

The Lexus GS RWD has a fabric filter. The AWD has a steel mesh filter. A760 e(rwd)/g(4wd)/h(awd) trans. Tundra uses e/g. The H trans transfer case shares fluid with the trans, fluid changes are very important. The Lexus dealer told me every 40K is a good idea. Lexus Dealer said only WS and filter change every second service. He told me there are cars in his system with 400K that are as good as new, they used their services. He said great if you can DIY, but even if we we do it they are getting a second and third life out of the car, and it is very reliable. My front diff is speced at 80W90, the service writer told me was a tech and there is a reason, from his toyota training. He said my front diff has a high pinion and it needs a thicker oil (vs 75w90). It has to do with how the fluid slings off the pinion gear. It won't explode but the spec is there for a reason

Transmission fluid is never shared with transfer case, they are both separate and have different amounts.

Cp4 has always been problematic part on many vehicles not just ford, due lubricity issues. First use fuel additives that has lubricity it help pump run smoothly. When it comes to fuel filters, factory fuel filters are best, motorcraft fuel filters best for ford. In my cummins I use factory fuel filters because I have not found an aftermarket fuel filter that is better than factory. When it comes to oil filters, some aftermarket oil filters is better choice than factory.

@repairvehicle amsoil oil and filter the best correct ?

@repairvehicle 11 ай бұрын

Yes

@tattooedmillionair 10 ай бұрын

Amsoil has a fantastic dual-filter set up (the first filter is high flow 10 micron, maybe 12 or more, and the 2nd filter is about 3 - 5 micron). If you do not want to dual filter setup, motorcraft does rate well (not the best), but for me I like WIX and it has a built in (bypass filter?) fine section, so it is a "best of both" in one. Also, if you go with the amsoil dual-filter, you have to use amsoil filters (I am working on converting the thread connector). Don't get me wrong, I think amsoil makes good filters, just personal preference from researching. Also, take a look at SS Diesel - they have a CP4 replacement pump that is impressive. On that note, I am seeing CP4 problems ranging from 1.6% to 7%. So if you have 500,000 American pickup trucks with a CP4 pump, 7% is 35,000 catastrophic failures, and out of those that fail, the vast majority happen at or above 100,000 miles. If your a gambler, add you fuel lubricant and save up for a new pump around 50k - 70k miles to be safe. Between reading articles and youtube, at least 1 person out there has over 300k on the original bosch cp4 pump.

I’ll probably change the filter on my Ram 1500 8 speed every other time. The ZF8 speed requires changing the whole pan to replace the filter.

good video brother. it helped even a non mechanically inclined person like myself to better understand. now a question. is there alot more work in changing tranny fluid and filter than in an oil change? reason i ask is because i have my 2007 hyundai sonata, that i just got on a good deal, slated at a local garage for an oil change. oil, new oil filter, the works for only $28. a tranny fluid change at the same garage is right around $150. i dont mind paying it because i have the peace of mind that a professional is doing it right, i just think it must take more effort and be a more intensive job that a simple oil change

Hi sir, I hope you are doing well.. I have Toyota Auris 2016 CVT transmission car. Soon I will take car for changing transmission fluid. Some says filter should change too but Toyota garage says they do not change the filter. I do not know if they say that because they do not care or is it really no need to be changed? I saw many videos on youtube they also change filter. May I please have your opinion and advice for this subject? thank you.

Question my friend. I changed the fluid and filter for the first time at 56000 miles on my 2012 mazda 3 skyactiv has an automatic 6 speed. I changed the fluid again a few months later but kept that same new filter in. 1000 miles after the second time it's slipping until it reaches operating temp one it warms up it shifts fine I read it could be that the new fluid loosened up some gunk and clogged the filter so it won't pass through the filter very well until it warms up and thins out. What say you?

New fluid will not loosened up gunk, because you had none in your transmission at 56k miles. You might have other transmission problems, maybe solenoid is not working properly or your transmission had sever damage done before you changed the fluid.

Great video, gives a lot of insight on this topic that my friend is struggling with. But I have few questions regarding both the trans fluid and trans filter. 1. I've seen some mechanics say that trans fluid works better when dirty because then it gives more friction while shifting gears... which means when trans fluid is changed and new, the gearbox might slip or shudder while shifting gears. Is that true? 2. My friend has a Nissan Sunny 2010 which has the steel/aluminium filter that you showed at 3:16 in the vid. Does that mean it's better to change the trans filter AND the fluid too? His car has an issue where the gearbox slips and doesn't shift when accelerating, but goes to normal when he slightly lets go of gas, but this happened very few times. Thanks!

@repairvehicle 10 ай бұрын

1. False. They say this to keep themself busy and job security. You can make 1000 times more money replacing transmissions than changing fluid. 2. if its clean no need to change it. changing fluid sometimes fixes problems if its not too late

@ad.808 10 ай бұрын

@@repairvehicle Thanks for the reply! It only happened 2 times in the past few months so I'm inclined to believe it's not too late. But I was wondering can it be an electrical problem as opposed to mechanical problem when the gearbox slips? And if yes, which sensors are to be looked at when in this situation? Also, will an aftermarket coolant for transmission be a good idea? Sorry for too many questions, I'm only new to learning about cars and many mechanics don't say the right thing upfront.

It could be electrical problem too however it would have to be scanned with a tool to see if there any codes for transmission. Aftermarket transmission cooler is a plus in hot climates.
