does this car have a dip stick to check the fluid level.............Thanks Willie

@SweetProjectCars Жыл бұрын

The dip stick should be on the fill cap, if it's not, it fell down into the transmission pan Willie. Thank you for watching and asking, have a great day and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

How do you reset the transmission fluid life? I’ve tried with a handheld scan tool and a tech 2 and it won’t reset.

Hello came across this video I just bought a 09 caddilac dts with 132,000 miles on it, I checked the transmission dipstick but not reading much so I am assuming I need to fill it up or change it out, what do you think I should do would appreciate it!

@jonathancoakley4612 Жыл бұрын

By the way, the car shifts great but I am concerned about the dipstick not ready any fluid

@SweetProjectCars Жыл бұрын

You need to stick something down in there to see what color the transmission fluid is, it should a bright to slightly dull red color. If you cannot get it to read, then you need to add the appropriate fluid until you can read it on the dipstick. Then drive the car for 5 miles or so, then stick something white down there to see what color the fluid is again, the bright red, if it's not that color, you need to change it. Hope this helps Jonathan, thanks for watching and asking, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC

@@SweetProjectCars ok will do, at that mileage with 132,000 can you still change out the trans fluid or will it mess up the transmission?

I have a quick question about your filter change. I see in the video that there are two filters 1 you had taken off (the one in the back) but the other was still in the transmission. Were you not able to remove the second filter or did you just leave it in because it didn't matter? Thank you,

@SweetProjectCars 6 жыл бұрын

Yes the second one is not that important if you follow this video to a T it will be all you need to do my friend have a great day

Changing the fluid in a 4T80 want help the filter inside last longer. The fluid has already been through the filter. 100% bs, super tech is not the same as Dextron six.

Great video! But I'm confused about something. I have a 2006 DTS performance Edition and the dipstick says dexron ||| but you said to use Dexron 6 . Is your dipstick or transmission different than mine? Your advice would be very appreciated thank you

@SweetProjectCars 6 жыл бұрын

Hello Cadillac Rick any time that you see an older oil used in a vehicle and the company has come out with a new addition it is always safe to use the newer fluids so you want to run the Dexron 6

I have a 2006 Buick Lucerne with a 4.6l North star motor and transmission is leaking is it okay to do a transmission change even tough it has 82,000 miles I got it at 60,000 miles but I don't know when was the last time they did transmission change need answers and what kind of transmission oil I need

Hi thank you for you channel. I was wondering how can you tell if transmission fluid need to be changed, as opposed to needing a new transmission ??? Thanks Olivia

@silvermediastudio 4 жыл бұрын

Bad shifts or slipping. Odd clunks. Cadillac recommends fluid exchange at 100K.

@LesChill4rl33 3 жыл бұрын

Also my 05 tells you on dash when time to change fluids

@SweetProjectCars 8 ай бұрын

Pull your dipstick out and if your fluid isn't bright red you need to get it changed before there is a problem. Another way to tell is to take some of the transmission fluid out *maybe a tsp. and put a few drops onto a piece of white paper then use this amzn.to/3GzGi8U and if you see that the oil is full of shiney specs there's a good chance that your clutches are toast in your transmission. If the transmission is not slipping right now, you need to get your fluid changed before it starts if it's not that bright red I spoke of.
