Good video!
I have a 2016 Equinox LTZ 2WD with the same 2.4L. It has 155,000 and doesn't burn oil. I live in Florida so the PVC valve and line condensation never freezes. These engines are problematic. You really need to keep up on your oil changes every 3-5,000 miles. Remove both VVT solenoids every third oil change also and check the inlet screens are clean of sludge. I am very happy with my Equinox and as a shade tree mech it's easy to work on. This car kicked my ass one time. The car started and stalled after 2-5 seconds. No check engine light and no codes. I replaced the fuel pump and both variable valve advance solenoids and it still stalled at start. I disconnected my MAF sensor forward of throttle body and it ran and set the check engine light and code for sensor since it was disconnected. I pass that on so it doesn't kick you ass. God Bless take care
Thank you for posting. I found the hardest job I had to do was replacing the AC actuator that requires you to remove the dashboard to replace. I was able to get it installed without removing the dashboard. My daughter with her small hands was able to access the three screws. Note this took us like over six hours. We didn’t do it in one day. But I was able to save over $1080. Just in labor. There was no way I was going to video it because of the language I used when my daughter wasn’t around. It would have taken a lot of audit
Those actuators are painful!
Do you have to replace the AC actuator to do the transmission fluid? Have a 2013 Terrain with 100k miles thinking of doing the transmission oil if its easy.
No the actuators are under the dash. The trans job is all under the hood.
@@joescola7498 Oh so it has nothing to do with this video or the transmission fill?
You should probably do it in this order
1. Remove drain plug
2. Remove side level plug (will let air in and drain faster)
3. Put bottom drain plug back in
4. Fill from top with funnel till oil comes out the side plug.
5. Start car shift gears a few times. Add fluid if need, excess will just flow out the side level hole
6. Put side level bolt back in
7. Put fill cap back on. DONE Drive it away.
Great video! Always looking for ways to keep my terrain from self-destructing, as it was built to do lol. In theory, changing the fluid more routinely, after a few oil changes, may keep the filter in better prolonged condition by chance, and the service looks easy enough.
The flushing is a great idea.👍👍👍👍 Awesome video like always Sir. As always Sir thanks for the ride along and Keep’em coming
Thanks 👍 I will keep'em coming, thanks for watching
Great Video! My son bought a used 2010 and it now has a 100,000 miles on it. Not sure why they have filters internally when you can't get to them. Why not place an external filter, like an engine oil filter to replace during every flush to make it simpler. I know we can't fix stupid in the engineering design, but the manufacturers have their reasons to keep their production line going. I keep my vehicles too! Just sold my 1999 Chevy Suburban in 2023 for some extra spending money. 289,000 miles and the engine still ran like new and the trans was rebuilt in 2003 due to the limp mode activating. The guy who rebuilt the trans, took the limp mode out and I never had issues with it all the way to 2023. Flushing and changing all fluid regularly and doing preventive maintenance will save you thousands of dollars in the long run. ✌😁
You can easily install an inline filter to extend life. It has a standard pleated filter as well as a magnet to trap ferrous metals.
Great video especially on the newer transmissions. I am use to the old pans and filters, now a days I take it in to someone I trust and have it done.
Thanks,
Tim
It was fun to do one of these transmission, I keep on learning new stuff, thanks for watching
Thanks I appreciate you,I always wanted to know how to change the transmission fluid.
Correction:
The Terrain is the sister car to the Equinox. Also lots of these engines fail due to the extended oil drain intervals and the piston rings fail. The engine burns oil and the timing chains stretch and the valves hit the pistons.
Thanks for the info on the procedure to drain and fill the transmission.
Thanks for the info! What's the sister for the Terrain then? thanks for watching
I updated my response. Terrain and equinox are sisters. Traverse and Acadia are sisters. Thanks and I subscribed
Enjoyed the Show! Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching
Best video !!!!!
Great video it let me no what to do thank you😂❤
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
I hate when they don't put dipsticks on the transmission. So, the bolt at 8:45 is the level you want the fluid at?
That is correct, I really don't mind when there is a fill level plug, some don't even have that and then it's a put in what drained out situation and that I don't like. Thanks for watching
Good video sir thank you.
You are welcome, Thanks for watching
You washed away the .....rust inhibitor. You did good. A flush is way cheaper then a simple tow job, and rebulid. Stick with you to the end.
Thank you for hanging in there and watching along with commenting, much appreciated.
Nice video Michael. Is there no dipstick for the transmission?
Cheers
Nope, just the fill to the plug hole on the side of the transmission as shown in the video, thanks for watching
How many total quarts did you use
I remember when u could buy a good car for $800 all day long
That was true, that is why it is sooooo important do the maintenance work, thanks for watching
Did you have the motor running and in park when you did the last fill and reinstall of the fluid level plug? OR do you do it without the motor running?
What ever the manual says to do.
Genius!
The Man, The Legend, The JohnRuppe1699, I can always count on, thanks for watching
Inaddition to the transmision fluid, did you do a video on the differential/ transfer case drain and fill? I like how you made it simple. You didnt raise the vehicle and yet was able to do the transmission change!
I didn't do the diff on this one. Probably should have. Thanks for watching
Not all Terrains and Equinox's are AWD
@docohm50 I figured out mine is front wheel drive. There's no diff nor axle in the rear, nor a drive shaft from front to back. So is there no diff or transfer case on this Terrain?! 🤔
@@alanaho4915 how is it running? Are you in a winter state? I enjoy ours. Only thing that failed was a MAF sensor and the tire pressure sensor.
@@docohm50 I live in Arizona. It runs nice. It's a 2011 with 25k miles. We basically drive it on short trips, unfortunately. Besides the gas low mileage, we have creeking noises from the rear passenger, wheel area we can't seem to figure out.
Thank you for the video! When checking the level plug, does the vehicle ATF temp need to be at 180 degrees?
Yes, very important.
@tssci6774 does it also need to be running or not?
Does this vehicle have a transmission filter?
this one did not have an easy change out filter.
I have had two plow trucks transmission go out and i had one plow truck blow out the front seal out of that transmission and a Ford ranger an i had a town an country and a Amc gremlin an a Chevrolet monte carlo transmission go out in round the last 30 to 40 years. Thay all had lots of miles on them my boss had the two rebuilt. The two i put a new seals in and two i had the transmissions rebuilt an one i put a used transmission in it.
that's a few for sure, thanks for sharing and watching
