2018 Silverado Transmission Fluid and Filter Change 

6.6 ft lb 80 lb And you don't have to remove the exhaust. You just need to strap the back side of the exhaust pipe near the cross member and pull the pipe down. To remove the pan.

Awesome video . Thanks for sharing

Nice post, thank you!

GREAT VIDEO A+ PLAIN AND SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS VERY NICE THANK S

You don’t have to take the exhaust off. Get a 2x4 and ratchet strap, put the 2x4 across the 2 cross members and ratchet strap the exhaust down near the catalytic converter. It will bring it down enough to get the pan off and slide out easy.

You dont need that “1inch”. No need to lift tranny. ALL YOU NEED IS A SLIGHT angled TURN OF THE PAN, slide down the filter, and a little slide down motion of the pan. Thats it you’ll get that pan out.

Magnetic part trays are valuable assets. Some diyrs suggest removing the transmission mount bolts and jacking the tranny for clearance. Your method of seperating the y-pipe from the manifolds seem easier. Also some have mentioned having the pan modied for a drain plug to help with fluid containment.

Thanks for showing all the details, tips!

Can you pump out ATF fluid from ATF dipstick first to minimize mess when dropping pan? 07 Escalade AWD here..

You do not need to remove the exhaust nuts to remove the drain pan. Take a ratchet strap and 2x4 and brace the 2x4 against the cross member and transmission support and place the ratchet strap around the exhaust expansion joint and ratchet it down. This will give you proper clearance to remove the pan due to the exhaust cross section clearance issue.

how do i know i put enough in after cleaning out the pan before i start? check dipstick cold? and do i have to keep adding more after getting ti temps

Great video. Can you tell me what size your engine is. Is it a 5.3 V8 and a 6L80 6 speed? Thanks for letting us all know.

Do you have to use AC Delco transmission fluid or can I use a different brand? I was told it had to be AC Delco.

6.2 Highcounrty. Mines came out with out ratchet strap i didn't even bother with the exhaust..

How hot does the 6l80 transmission get on the 2018 silverado 1500 5.3 ?

Is it normal my 2017 Chevy doesn’t have anywhere to check like a dipstick I can’t find it

I thought change filter sound hard, look easy somebody doing it 😂

How is Chevy to cheap to put a drain plug

is this 6 or 8 speed transmission

6 quarts just for service?

I swear the government needs to step in and stop letting these car manufacturers purposely make it more difficult and or needing special tools to fix there shit...the dam pipe didn't have to be there 😡
