Transmission fluid type and level




By Yadira021881 on Apr 19, 2009

" "
I have a 1999 Malibu. There is no dip stick to check transmission fluid levels. How do I check the level? What kind of transmission fluid does it take and what level should it be at?

This is complicated.... Ok, your right, no dip stick is there! This is how it works.
Underneath the car, there is a plug (11mm) on the transmission case on the passenger side. It is about 3" up from the pan edge and on the front side of the case. With the engine running in PARK, remove this plug. If trans fuild doesn't run out of the hole, the level is low. Pour it in the hole on top (where the red cap is) until the fluid runs out - all while the car is running. Once it is roughly dribbling out, the trans is considered full. replace plug. Your done!!
Easy ehh? Dexron III fluid
