Transmission fluid

Hi Chyanne,

Your cars, like many modern cars doesn’t have a transmission dipsticks, the transmission is filled with a predetermined volume of oil and there is no need to do and checks unless you have developed a leak, depending on the transmission fitted to your car, there are can be different methods of doing a volume check. normally there is a fill port and a spill port, when you fill the transmission you add oil through the fill port and allow a little oil to start to drain from the spill port, this indicates that the transmission is filled. some transmission only use a predetermined total refill volume and some require the transmission to be checked at a specific temperature, which is monitored with a scan tool that has this specific feature. if your question is just of a general inquiry nature I hope this clears thing up for you .if you require to do any maintenance please advise your vehicles details preferably the 17 digit VIN for further advice.

Thank you for using 2CarPros.
