Nice vid! Quick tip: crack open your fill plug before draining--imagine not being able to fill your transmission w/no fluid in it?

@rolandm9750 Жыл бұрын

Really surprised that wasn't part of the video. Thought the exact same thing--always crack the fill plug first, then the drain. If there's a problem with getting the fill plug out you'll be in for a lot of headaches if you drained it first.

@mk_ultrarunner 13 күн бұрын

And they used same drain plug. I thought they were replaced with new ones and heard fill plug should have new o-ring installed too. 🤷🏻‍♂️

When filling the transmission fluid temp needs to be between 86°-122°F/30-50C to get the correct level. The proper procedure is to fill it as much as it will take cold, then crank the car, shift it and let it run, pump maybe 3-4 more quarts in then wait for the trans fluid temp to get between that range, then fill the rest till it runs out. Not adhering to the temp range you run the risk of under or overfilling it if you just guess.

@mk_ultrarunner 13 күн бұрын

How do you know range? No trans temp gauge on car.

@Sle3p520 7 күн бұрын

He did say get it running up to normal temp, then go thru the gears. I wonder if getting it up to normal temp is between the 86-122 F you’re talking about

How many miles should you do the transmission fluid? I have a 2016 4 cylinder with around 80 000 milles and the drakes told me I don’t have to do one until the maintenance light comes on?

@NhatNguyen-xs7kl Жыл бұрын

They recommend 75k miles. I recently did mine at 144k miles with new filter and fluid (1st time). Cost me around $700. In another 30k miles gonna only do the drain/fill with fluid only.

BMW has a fluid temperature range on when to fill, If over or under it won't be accurate. Is it the same range of temp for Audi?

I got 78k miles Audi B8 Allroad, I believe it never changed the transmission fluid before. Should I just do the drain and refill or do you suggest the whole process with the new filter as the video? Because I heard some old vehicles got worse after the transmission fluid replacement. Thank you very much!

@ecstuning 10 ай бұрын

We suggest doing the same service as seen in the video. These transmissions require this service much more often than older ones so we do suggest going through the full service

Should be, yes. They primarily use the 8-speed ZF (one serviced in the vid) other than a few models (not sure which exactly, hybrid may be different) that use a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I'm at 103 k and spoke to my dealer about it. I do ally servicing except for a water pump that went at 80k. He recommended that I just drive the car and not worry about changing the fluid. How many miles will I get if I do that? I want to go 300k.I love this car. 2017 Q5 3.0V6

@MrNofckingidea Ай бұрын

If you have the money, do it. Dont follow what they say. They say an oil change every 15000km here, we all know that we should do it at 8k but people buy them new and do the less amount of maintenance and trade them 4 years after so they dont care, now they all have oil consumption problems. I would say, change it and you'll be secure about the fluid being effective.

@bagelbandit6076 Жыл бұрын

Isn’t it typically good practice to ensure the fill plug comes out first before you remove the drain plug to make sure you will be able to fill it after you drain it? Or is that just a Chevy thing?
