Quote HistoryQuoted: 6 speed? 9 speed? newer 10 speed? Capacities and drain/fill amount are all different (as are the fluids required) Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: ETA: It appears the Oddy carries about 7.4 qts of fluid, drain and refill 4 qts will get you to the top of the 'full' on the dipstick, so it appears for a spill and fill you're replacing about 50%. Someone may come in and correct me. 6 speed? 9 speed? newer 10 speed? Capacities and drain/fill amount are all different (as are the fluids required) Good point, mine is a 2011, 6 speed I believe. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Since we are on the subject I have a Tahoe with 324k miles, transmission fluid hasn't been changed since 2012/120k miles. I figured it made no sense to change it at this point, but am I wrong? don't do it on that trans. that little hole is gonna getted plugged up |

There are two ways to treat a transmission: 1) change per the recommended schedule or 2) never change it. Transmissions have many small passages that are easily clogged with debris. Changing routinely keeps contaminants dissolved which then get drained and removed. Driving a car 100k miles without changing it allows all of that crap to build up. A new dose of fluid will set all of that free and it circulates until it finds a hole too small to pass. It clogs and tranny no worky.
This came from a transmission mechanic who came into my store hears ago and bought a dolly full of carb cleaner about once per week. He said most rebuilds require no parts. Only a good cleaning. I saw this phenomenon myself with my dad’s Buick and a 90s honda accord. |

It is not true with modern transmissions, especially import transmissions. |

On certain trannies yes, but on the ones I mentioned, change the fluid |
