Probably the most technically correct way to perform a oil and filter change on a 4L60e. From oil , filter and seal removal to filling procedure Thanks for the video for us DIY ers .

@funlife51 Год назад

Another helpful solution to keeping your fluid changed is to obtain a hand vacuum pump , Northern tool has one, and remove the fluid from the dipstick tube. Just place tubing that will reach the bottom of the pan and pump until no fluid comes out... then refill with fresh fluid .. drive a few hundred miles and repeat the process. Valvoline max life fully synthetic fluid works well. You can easily do this procedure in your driveway and repeat as often as desired. Your transmission will thank you with smooth shifting and a longer life.

Hey thanks man, will do! And thank you for the comment I like that haha. Sad to say that I'm getting a new truck soon so I might lose that resemblance a little bit.

I have a 1995 Chevy K 1500 and only changed the fluid 2 time in 217,000 miles and she is now getting rebuilt for $2,500. She’s worth it considering the price of new trucks that loose value everyday. Love my old truck.

I have a 95 K1500 too. I’m driving it till the wheels fall off. Make sure they replace all of the solenoids.

Solid video amigo. 16 bolts and square pan for the 4L60E and 17 bolts with 2 rounded corners in the back section for the 4L80E. Figured it out quickly when I climbed underneath my 1994 K2500 6.5TD and realized I had accidentally ordered the wrong filter. :) Good video!

Nice video... I just did the fluid change on my 98 4L60E. I was able to just drop the pan opposed to removing any obstructions. I was able to undo bolts on passenger side, front & back of pan. Where the shifter is, I was able to just lower & slide the lip of pan past that... You have GREAT content...

@user-qc4hc4re8j 11 месяцев назад

After owning our 2000 gmc jimmy for 12 years and only putting on 40,000 km.( Yes Im Candian. ) Having not driven it for 6 years and parked in our covered garage we decided to sell it. We had it inspected. The inspection said that we had a leak in the seal to the transfer case and it was overfull. There was not one spec of oil on our garage floor in 6 years. So I started researching videos. I came across yours and watched it many times. Even though we couldn't find a leak we decided to go ahead and change everything just like your video showed. If not for your video and step by step instructions i don't think we could have done it ourselves. Was there really a leak i don't know, we couldn't find one. But we now know if we ever again have to change the transmission fluid we can do it. Thank you so very much.

Gotta do my fluid and filter on my 98 blazer, just looking for the right filter as there seems to be a few different ones 😳 video was a great help tho got a rough idea on what to do now 👍

@kenc.9067 5 месяцев назад

I never knew there was a seal removal tool like that. My old seal was hardened from age; it didn't come out in one piece. I had to use picks and screwdrivers to dig out all the small pieces. My new seal looked different, and it was a genuine GM part. I guess either style does the same job.

@85irocnc 3 года назад

Great video gives me a good idea on what i need to do with my 97 silverado. Shes slipping and i ran into a 30 year transmission mechanic who mentioned to me similar to what you said. To drain the pan and use half of the old and half new fluid. What are your thoughts on this? I plan on doing what you did...put the old fluid into a 5qt jug to see how much was drained and then add new fluid accordingly

@DIYDad1 3 года назад

This is the best video on this topic that I’ve found on RU-vid and I’ve watched probably 20 videos on transmission fluid changes. Excellent job describing how to replace the filter. I didn’t even know what transmission I have until I saw this. I have a 98 k1500 z71 extended cab truck. Any idea how many quarts of fluid is the correct capacity? I can pull the pan and drain it and refill the same amount but I want to make sure it has the correct amount too. Just got the truck a few weeks ago. Not sure if the transmission has ever been done before!

@lordpigg4069 2 года назад

Same. I watched 20+ videos and found this one to be the best

@1voorhies Год назад

Thanks for posting this video. I am getting ready to change the filter on my 2001 Silverado and I am glad I saw this. When ordering a replacement filter from RockAuto I saw that there are different filters for the 4L60E transmission depending if it has a deep or shallow pan. How do you know what depth pan you have for ordering the filter? Also my transmission has a built in drain plug which makes draining the oil easier. Finally in my owners manual they only recommend changing the transmission fluid every 100,000 miles, but I'm sure it doesn't hurt to do it more often.

@97delkron 3 года назад

just did this yesterday on my tahoe. nice job on video but why didn't ya clean trans mating surface before installing pan? you cleaned pan but trans side still showed old gasket material. pretty easy to overlook stuff. i changed pan to one that has a drain plug. i forgot to move my magnet from old pan to new one. so i will be doing this again pretty soon.

@gustavocalderon1050 4 года назад

@dasgator1 Год назад

great video. I'm about to get under my 2003 blazer. Fluid and filter and 1&2 solenoid. 2 ??"s Are 1&2 solenoids in the rear ?? Also my new filter has the new seal on it can I remove it and install with old seal in the trans ?? Seems like a lot of work removing the old one without proper tools...

@mattt3171 4 года назад

When you slid your finger over the magnet I cringed, surprised the shavings didn't slice up your finger! Great video tho, this got me ready to change my fluid

@blakebrass125 2 года назад

What are your thoughts on transmission cleaner (seafoam) just wondering. Have you ever used it or do you think it's worth it? I use sea foam to clean the top of my engine i.e. crank case, fuel tank, etc.

@dennisgeisler5440 5 месяцев назад

Really enjoyed the video but I have a question or two before changing transmission oil and filter in 1995 Chev 305 - 1/2 ton. My parents truck that has 216,000 km and the oil has never been changed. I have lost the overdrive gear when the oil warms after you travel a few kms but the other gears work fine. Am I wasting my time and $ to do the oil and filter change like the video or would it be of any value to drain all of the oil and replace with all new? I would prefer the video plan for sure! It's a spare truck on the farm only used to go back and forth 25 km rtn to town or to auction mart with a 12 foot goose neck trailer. Thanks, Denny

@Condor1970 3 года назад

If you do a drain and fill of really good synthetic fluid like Redline every 10k, do you really need to change out the filter?

@Cocofish1775 4 года назад

Great video! I have what may seem like a weird question - at least it was weird to me when I saw it. I just bought a 1996 c1500 4.3L V6 and I don’t see a transmission dipstick anywhere. Have you come across this before and how do I fill it after the filter change? Any help would be appreciated.

@AircraftMechanic-AP 3 года назад

Is it a manual transmission? Lol

@alscompleteoutdoor9091 Год назад

You can also disconnect the cooler line start the truck and it will pump out all the fluid...as long as your quick on the key or have someone on the key while you watch the hose no risk of running the pump dry

@MikeSmith-nu9wt 2 года назад

In 07 they advertised a 100,000 mile no maintence truck , only had to do oil changes when it told you too , about 9 thousand miles the light came on , so i ran mobile 1 synthetic ..over 300,000 original motor , trans , transfer case and both pigs ...07 silverado 1/2 ton 4x4 cab and half

@chrystalgreear2968 3 года назад

I need to see the part after you take the cross member off, I'm changing out just the pan, I was told to jack it up a little bit in the back however I'm not trying to do that I just want to take the crossmember off and do it that way I was told I still have to use a jack???

@suewatson1912 4 года назад

@trohlack5150 Год назад

On my 1993 there's a cross member supported the rear of the transmission. THAT sumbich makes what should be an easy job a lot harder. I have to unbolt that thing to make getting to the back 5 bolts a little easier.
