take out eight you're gonna have a
little bit remaining in there to be
honest with you I have no idea how you
would actually flush this system because
these newer vehicles are 15 and up they
actually have a thermal bypass system so
it actually only opens the transmission
fluid with it gets to a certain
temperature so unless you have some kind
of obd ii reader or some kind of GM Tech
tool to open that up manually and then
you can flush it out that's the only way
I know it could do it but I know from
the O 7 to 14 Escalade Tahoe you cons
you could just definitely open the key
turn the key on and the pump will cycle
the transmission fluid through it's
totally different animal in this car you
know I see I have the thick of the
manuals and they doesn't say anything
about it so I'm not quite sure how
dealers when they tell you they're gonna
flush these cars how they flush these
cars but there's I'm sure there's a way
to do it but I'm just doing a simple
print drop alright so you're gonna need
this you're gonna need you're going to
need a fluid evacuator and you're going
to need to need a fluid refill system
okay so these are the tools you're gonna
need besides some simple hex tools and
maybe an impact driver
that's all you're gonna need so let's
get down to business first thing you
want to do before you do anything to the
car you're gonna open your trunk okay
you're gonna put the seats down you're
gonna go into your trunk and you're
gonna grab your jack and this will be a
very very important step later on in the
process and I will show you why okay so
let's get this car jacked up so I'm
using a ranger quick Jack if you haven't
seen one of these before a great product
I highly suggest grabbing one and just
make sure you're on the lift points and
go ahead and start Jack out
[Music]
[Applause]
all right
okay so your Cadillac Escalade is lifted
like I said this is not an absolutely
necessary step but I do it just cause
it's easier to work and also it's gonna
be easier for me to make the video okay
so now that we have the vehicle on the
jack we're gonna proceed to extracting
the automatic transmission fluid out you
could tech theoretically just drop the
pan without use an extractor but I
guarantee you're gonna dump ATF fluid
all over your body unless you have a big
big pan of catch it so I use an
extractor first there's actually an
extraction port I'm going to show you
how to get to it
so let's first call on in the car bring
the hex tool so you can see what I'm
saying okay so this is what I'm looking
at here is a transmission pan this whole
piece right here okay
so we are gonna get the text to it I
believe the 10 millimeter a 10
millimeter nut and loosen this exalt
this transmission pan shield just loosen
it
[Music]
move this nut place it somewhere and
then how let me make sure you guys I
hope you guys can see this because this
angle is just so hard to see ok so I
need there we go ok so you this is a
better angle I want to make double shirt
and make sure because this is hard for
people to see ok so I've removed the
screw holding the shield and over here
there's this so there's a dream
ATF fluid removal port I'm trying to
look for my orange tulle that I'm just
showing you guys earlier so if you
remove the exhaust shields or pushes
that side you're gonna see this little
black rubber grommet and you're gonna
use a your tool like this you're gonna
use this tool to pick it out so
grabbing get up this is exactly what I'm
talking about this is a little piece
that you're gonna need out okay so this
is the I guess this is a little plug for
the the extractor so you can extract ATF
fluid out and this is also the same area
where you fill ATF fluid into okay this
aside and then reach your hand over
you'll see the extractors over there
reach your hand over and grab the
extractor tube and fish it into that
little hole
ouch it's hot be careful with the hot
exhaust
stick it in there
okay you're good pull out of the truck
so now what you need to do is you start
extracting on extracting fluid out of
here
evacuate is so you're gonna let about
for this car around seven courts from my
memory will come out what I usually do
is I'm actually gonna let this drain
overnight because there's a lot but the
moment you start the car a lot of that
fluid goes up into the gears so you
needa let it drain for a long long time
so if you wait overnight and probably
another courts gonna come out so I'm
going to come back the next morning and
continue this video right here so hope
hope you guys can see exactly where I'm
placing this Jack the diplomas this
GoPro do some old better and it's
difficult to capture this on camera so
basically if I'm laying down underneath
the car and if I'm laying underneath the
car and my feet are facing towards the
hood of the car
and my head is facing towards the trunk
of the car you're gonna take this jacket
and you can look at this transmission
pan let me see if you can see what I'm
seeing
and take your check and look at the
transmission pan and you are gonna use
your left hand and place the jacket or
the left side of your body you're gonna
place the jack up right here
okay I'm sure that's the cameras
capturing net so y'all can see where I'm
placing the jack and that's gonna allow
you to you're gonna it's gonna allow you
to jack up and push this exhaust line
down so you can drop the pan out a
little bit so let's go ahead start
jacking it up and you know you don't
even need to again use your hands and
you just need jack I think generally you
don't need a jack that much cuz already
just the panel
yeah I think that's enough and if it's
not enough to just go ahead and use your
hand and jack up more but it doesn't
take much so your 10 remove all the
screws all the 10 millimeter screws so
you can drop the pan
[Music]
[Music]
okay guys and this is where the pan
comes out wait get your food some places
like I said guys there's the pan and
it's dropped and so I wish I could make
sure that you guys get a shot of this
but basically make sure my phone is
close by so I can check my angling so
now that the pants dropped you can
actually see this is my extractor line
so that was the extraction port and
here's the filter and the filter is a
simple remove you just pulled straight
down
I just got ATF fluid all in my mouth so
lesson learned don't for the purpose of
this video I'm really trying to get draw
shots but usually I have to stay much
further away than this I think I'm not
the boss and took a shower um Wow anyway
so stuff doesn't taste good
just be aware it's gonna make a mess
this is part of changing automatic
transmission fluid what I do is I use
the extractor so you can see exactly
almost 7 quarts came out only 7 liters 7
liters almost 7 liters exactly came out
and if you get count for the stuff I
suppose under at the car and then some
residual left over in that filter about
every time I do this 7 liters comes out
of the 2015 Escalade so let's go ahead
and clean the pan just pretty simple
task
shrink
and see all metal shavings see how the
napkin turn brown you can see the metal
shavings within the pan
remove the magnets between the magnets
off
cleaned up it's back in place for the
gasket you're gonna need GM part number
[Music]
two for two six zero zero seven one is a
part number for the 8-speed automatic
transmission pan gasket for the filter
hmm I have to look it up I'll put it in
the comment section for the game part
number from the filter and so yeah I'll
get you that later
these filters they for the HP I know for
the old Escalade for the O seven to the
14 the gasket I believe you to put it on
I come separately but this one already
has a gasket on it so basically just pop
it into the car do that right now
okay so C goes like this in you see
there's nothing in there is no gasket
nothing this rubber thing is re there so
just pop it straight in that's it and
push and there ma Li well I think it the
line yeah this thing lines up there
perfect sticks in like that
I'm gonna grab some your ATF fluid I
like to do this
there we go make sure it's perfectly
aligned
and you're supposed to go in a zigzag
fashion like one two three four five six
seven eight
but I don't really do that I don't
really follow the rule and I haven't had
a leak so I just kind I don't go in the
exact order that the manual says but I
still go in a zigzag order with this I
don't tighten it down all the way I'll
go back and use a torque torque wrench
I'm gonna be down tighten to the proper
torque to settings let me just get this
on all right so let's go let's exact
pattern
okay so for this it's ten Newton meters
for each bolt on the drain on the
transmission pan bolts it's exactly ten
millimeters so let's get this any
okay so how we need a fill we took out
replace the fluid so I said seven came
out so let's go like this I actually
happen to have exactly seven here at one
two three four five six seven ok so
here's eight but this one's I I had to
open it previously and use a little bit
of it so I guess we'll do a little bit
less well now what the heck let's just
put a little bit more because we're
gonna do the fluid check procedure and
some will come back out 7n
transmission pan fluid check procedure
and in that procedure you'll drip you
actually remove the drain there's this
there's this check plug and there's an
overfill system you're gonna get the car
to a certain temperature off to teach
you guys how to roll up through the
gears and you're gonna let some of the
transmission fluid and back out and then
once it kind of reaches to the top of
that overflow inside the transmission
pan you're gonna start getting a dribble
once the fluids I'm dribbling your
transmission fluid at the exact level
that it needs to be at so it's a really
simple procedure you don't need to worry
about over filling it at first because
you're just gonna check in and it's
gonna be correct later so it's easier to
my finish it easier to over fellow first
do the procedure to check it you know
obviously someone's gonna come out and
then be at the right level than to have
it under fill' do the procedure to check
it and then have to go back get onto the
car put this apparatus back in the pill
drain fill extractor plug and then and
then add more it's just rather just put
a little bit extra in there no I'm not a
big deal
stick it to the same hole that used to
extract the fluid out of
right
go check it out guys and I have a little
valve over here that I just turn on and
it will go ahead and allow the fluid to
go in and it's just gonna fill so now
that you've gotten the fluid changed out
the filter changed the Pampa Beckham is
starting to lower the vehicle and we
need to do the fluid fill protector
check procedure
but you've gotten the transmission fluid
replaced the filter replaced
everything's put back together you need
to take your car off the lift and now
it's time to do the automatic
transmission fluid check procedure
so for these newer vehicles 2015 up GM
at large SUV's even the I think the end
of my arc of my Camaro SS the CTSV ATS
vs they do not have a transmission
dipstick to check the level it's
actually a better design I don't like
the dipstick the way this does it is
that it uses an overfill port
kind of like a it's called an overflow
port within the transmission pan and
basically you get the car up to
temperature for this cars between 95
degrees Fahrenheit and 115 degrees
Fahrenheit and once it gets to that
temperature you're gonna roll through
the gears Park neutral forward reverse
parking forward neutral forward reverse
roll through it slowly and that's gonna
allow you to get all the fluid through
the gears and make sure that the
temperature is uniform throughout once
the temperature is between that range
you are going to go into the car you're
gonna remove the drain port and you're
gonna let it the excessive fluid while
the car is running drain out and and
you're gonna let it drain till it comes
to a little dribble once it starts
dribbling then you just stop you put the
plug back in and you're good to go
you're done the loop the fluid will be
at the exact level that it needs to be
at so the hard part is getting that in
the car up to temperature that's
actually the tricky part in the summer
in Texas it's really easy but in the
winter I'm gonna have to drive it I'm
gonna actually drive it for a bit so I'm
gonna go ahead and hop in the car and
start getting this up to temperature
and you can see in your vehicle that you
have a a TFT screen
transmission fluid temperature screen
and it's at 61 right and so basically
you're gonna drive the vehicle around
till you get that between 95 degrees
Fahrenheit and 115 you don't want to go
over you don't want to be under so it
has to be between that particular range
is very very very specific basically
he's just gonna be running around
all right so I'll let the car sit for a
little bit let me check the temperature
again let me say it have forgot to
mention it has to be between 95 and 113
I think I said 115 it's 95 to 113 that's
your temperature range
so you're gonna Park reverse neutral
drive manual Drive
neutral Park
reverse reverse Park sorry so I'm at 108
I'm it's good to go let me go onto the
car and check fluid make sure you leave
the car running I don't know you're
gonna be able to see this on camera it's
kind of dark down there and and really I
don't have much room to get underneath
the vehicle right now cuz it's not on on
the skin but I'll do my best so you guys
be very careful when you come under here
the exhaust is very hot
get a 10 millimeter hex unbolt the drain
bolt
especially
[Music]
all right so you're gonna undo it and
it's gonna start to pull up
oh well nothing's coming out so I might
have to add a little bit of more ATF
fluid so basically that's the basic
procedure so in this case it looks like
I under filled it a little bit but
that's okay I'll go ahead and add more
ATF good
