Thanks! I had cooler lines fixed about 6 months ago on my 2014 Town and Country and has been shifting hard when it gets hot. Decided to order tool and check myself and had to add more than 3 quarts of atf-4 and now shifts great. Took it to the mechanic who replaced cooler lines and he said I was measuring wrong and had to use oil dipstick to get past stop and go to bottom of the pan. He is wrong and won't admit it. Hopefully didn't do any damage running it 3 quarts low.

@MrJackassz 3 года назад

What a legend you are. An amazing teacher, patient and willing to show step by step. And keeps it simple.

@taylorsutherland9447 3 года назад

It never fails to amaze me how we can even have simple dip sticks anymore. Could be graduated by trans temperature and give a readout on the dash. This is a European and GM type of ridiculously difficult ways to perform what should routine service.

@stephenbrown7815 Год назад

With newer Toyotas a scan tool is needed to compare fluid temp and drain amount of a service plug? At least you can see where to put fluid. A normal dipstick would be better though.

@NPartipilo 9 месяцев назад

Excellent video. Thank you so much..

@carlosgraft7386 4 месяца назад

You are right! such an importan part not being monitored on the dash. THe computer does it to an extend but overtime the tranny will succumb... for example: when T converter slipping is detected PCM will stop engaging however repeating this process daily will cause inevitable damaged over time. ..

@hemiandersen1894 5 лет назад

Thank you David, I have been a MOPAR mechanic for over 50 years, retired now. Your explanation was clear and concise. You do better than even the factory training school guys in your clear explanations. I have reproduced the measurement markings as you describe, it was very helpful.

@randywharton6291 11 месяцев назад

A couple years ago, my 2010 VW Routan with 160K miles was shifting hard, and I’d never had anything done to the transmission. So I took it to my local Chrysler place and asked for a fluid and filter change. It didn’t help the shifting, but I felt better about it. Recently I started getting a solenoid D error in the solenoid pack, so I used your videos on changing the solenoid pack. Extreme kudos, Dave! It went without a hitch. During the process, about 3 quarts drained out, and before starting the car, I put 3 quarts back in. Using your video on how to use the oil dipstick, it showed about 80 mm on the stick. I siphoned 1 quart out to get it back where it needed to be. Evidently, my local dealer put 1 quart too much back in when they serviced it for me previously. Evidently, they don’t always use their own procedures for properly ensuring the correct fluid level. BTW, my tranny is shifting smoothly again now with the new solenoid pack. 😊

@lukenelson1865 3 года назад

Very straight forward. I highly recommend. I also appreciate that there isn't a huge story before you get the information you need.

@treycamp2657 2 года назад

Summary: 10mm (cold level) - 40mm (hot level), using the engine dipstick as the measuring tool to "bottom out" in the transmission level check tube (says "dealer only"). You can mark / modify the dipstick (engine) with these marks (either permante or temp) to check the fluid level. "cold level" - Vehicle Idled ~10 minutes, run through gear changes. (~ 75 degree F) "hot level" - vehicle driven ~ 10 miles, nominal operating temperature ( ~ 180 degree F) DUde, super helpful. I'm an engineer and love how you made a simple, easy solution that works with the van, just using the actual dipstick. Rediculous that RAM couldn't have just done this for the promaster, but I get that they're being cheap and simplifying things.

@MotorCityMechanic 2 года назад

Thanks Trey for the comment and for watching. Sometimes you just have to take a step back and relook at the situation and what you have in front of you.

@rhancesk 2 года назад

hello, one question, the measurement is 10 mm exact or is it the minimum when cold, I have seen out there that it is 5-15 mm when cold and 40-45 when hot. I believe that measurements are never so exact, that's why depticks have a minimum and maximum. a greeting.

@pedrotorres9836 4 года назад

@MaddMaxx2012 Год назад

Also be careful, I just got into trouble. There is a bend in the trans dip tube and in a certain orientation, the oil dipstick feels like it bottomed out, but it was something in the bend that felt that way. This caused me to overfill the trans by 3 liters!.... Something didn't feel right about adding almost 5 liters to the trans... So I looked at the video again to see how far down the dipstick went down in the tube and saw that mine was much higher. So I pushed a bit harder and it went down to the real stopper! I had to siphon out all the oil I had added and start over. In the end I was only down about 2 liters... So make sure you get past that bend in the tube and get to the real stopper. The handle of the dipstick should go below the air filter about a hand width or 3-4 inches (forgot to measure exactly how much) from the top of the tube. If yours only goes down a bit and stops at the bend, (the handle is above the air filter) try turning the dipstick 90 degrees and try again to get past the bend.

@RedBarnFinancialTV 6 месяцев назад

I think this is where I'm at. I wasn't sure if I was passing the "bottom out" spot, because on my Journey I hit a "bottom" with the dipstick above the air filter (no fluid) then another further down that make it seem way overfilled. I'm not sure which one is right. It didn't look like he hit anything at the "bend" so I'm wondering if I went down below the stop and really need more rather than being overfilled. I'm debating going to the dealer vs guessing.

@shauncleary9801 3 года назад

Great video. Best mechanic videos I’ve seen

@wyattoneable 6 лет назад

I purchased the dip stick from Dorman you suggested to me in a comment a while back and got a chart from Eric O. The next trick was a tool to get the temperature of the transmission. One of my higher end scanners did that so it was just a matter of putting the three things together to check the oil. Wow, it sure has become complicated. I did a video on that journey but you did a much better job on this video. Well done!

@MotorCityMechanic 6 лет назад

I had filmed parts of this video along time ago and in those clips I even used a laser thermometer and even taped a thermometer to the pan to see if any big differences in temp.....it really wasnt that much difference which was surprising......i just decided to not include the footage. Thanks Wyatt for always watching and for the support!

@susanhunt2095 10 дней назад

Thank you for this informative video. I have a 2010 Town and Country and actually took it to the local Chrysler dealer to have them check fluid levels in the transmission. I do not know if THEY even knew how to check the fluid. They put it on a rack and raised it up and noticed seepage. The vehicle has 298000 miles on it and that i know of has NEVER had the transmission fluid checked. They actually DECLINED to even check the transmission fluid level. They told me the seepage means that the transmission is actually leaking and they declined any further service work and sent me on my way. All i wanted was to know if i needed to add fluid. True almost 300k is a lot of miles but the mechanic in me just wanted to check the fluid level. Now i can check it myself.
