- Welcome to 10 minute jobs, in this video I walk you through how to do a basic transmission fluid change on a 2015 GMC Terrain.
Please let me know how I am doing, this is my first video but I plan to make many more as often as possible and would love to do better next time!
Thank you and please subscribe!
Awesome video! Thank you! Here are 3 things I would add.
1) Open Fill Plug half way BEFORE opening Drain Plug. This makes sure it can come off and to allow air flow.
2) The torque specification for both the Drain Plug and Check Plug is 106 INCH-lbs.
3) Before opening the Check Plug, the engine's temperature must be between 185-203 degrees Fahrenheit.
I found that I had to drive enthusiastically for about 20 minutes before the transmission temperature even reached 185 degrees.
Just something to note.
Thanks for the tips!
Nice video on the transmission "drain & fill". I do my 2013 Equinox every summer, since I got it used with 45K miles.
I got a bit concerned when you first jacked it up. Good recovery though, gotta keep all 4 on the ground to be level.
Here's my suggestion:
Get her hot, park it level and turn the wheels fully to the right. You'll see the level plug which u can reach with an 18" extension.
The rest is as you did it. And it really is a 10 minute job, and easier than an oil & filter change!
Thanks for the info!
Great video, I just completed my 2015 GMC Terrain. After watching your video I was able zip right through it. Again thanks, Thomas from Kissimmee, Florida
It takes 30 minutes of highway, highspeed driving, to get transmission fluid to reach the required 180F. The transmission has a temp controlled reservoir. If its not at temp when you can underfill the transmission. I use a $5 Torque App and BT OBDII adapter to read engine data, and transmission temp. A simple drain and fill only replaces, 45% of fluid, need to do full fluid exchange, or 4 drain and refills.
Really helpful vid. I'm jealous of your independence on maintaining your vehicles. I have to ambition just don't have the tools. Like that hand drill or what u used to take off the wheel. So frigging simple. The right tools makes the job so easy.
Loved the video! I just did this today because of it. (40k miles past due 😢). Nonetheless I debated on whether to take it somewhere or do it myself so glad I found your video and chose the later. Very helpful, thank you!
I also did what another person suggested below and turned the wheels all the way right. Made for easy access to the check plug. I didn’t have to jack up the car to get the drain plug off either so saved some time there as well.
Great job!
thank you for the transmission oil change. it was very helpful.
Did the fluid change on my terrain, took it for a test drive afterwards and everything was great, let it sit for a few days, next time I went to jump in the transmission decided that it no longer wanted to function.
So = what happened ?
I've been searching for this video--just what i needed. It will be my first time doing transmision drain and fill on my 2011 Terrain. Questions had are now answered so i will feel confident doing this job. At the end, you talked about other maintenance. Did you do the transfer case? I think i will do it at the same time. 2011 with 25000 miles. Not quite 30k, but the years I'm sure deteriorates it.
I did the transfer case as well, should be in my video library deal. Thanks!
@10minutejobs88 I looked and just looked again and I am not seeing it for the GMC Terrain. There is one for the Silverado. I've done my 2007 Tundra and no issues, but I can't seem to find where the gear oil goes for the 2.4L front wheel drive.?!
The dealership does basically the same thing when flushing the transmission fluid. Except they replace all the fluid, supposedly. They don't change the transmission filter, cause it's a nightmare to do. I had the transmission fluid changed at 25,000 miles, and 65,000 miles at the dealership, and I did the transmission fluid change at 100,000 miles myself. The transmission oil was still a reddish color, not burnt. The vehicle shifts great. "nock on wood" I use Valvoline Decron VI in the blue bottle for Transmission fluid. I'll drain and fill the Transmission fluid once again when I do my next oil change cause I only replaced 5 quarts of the transmission fluid during the 100K miles drain-and-fill. Then I'll check the transmission fluid after another 25,000 miles. I change the Oil and oil filter every 5k to 6-thousand miles full synthetic 5W-30 every time. The vehicle runs great.
Good video but I agree that never go under a car with it being supported by a jack only an accident can happen in less than a second 🙏🏻
This is the best video on the GMC transaxle fluid change that I could find, thanks, buddy!
Great to hear!
Great video man really helped I'm getting tired of taking it to the dealership Because of the whole procedure I'm kinda not comfortable about doing it but this video definitely gave me some confidence.. how many quarts total would you say it takes to hit the level mark
Any idea how much they charge you for a transmission oil change?
@papirrin91 I've payed $130 at a gmc dealer complete flush
I would of checked if the fill comes off before you drain it
Good instructor. Well done team. Stay safe.
What are you going to do with the left over new transmission fluid. Might as well poured everything in. With the overflow nut open, that would have removed some more dirty fluid. Great video BTW. Thanks.
My owners manual says to change the transmission fluid at 97,500 miles, Not sure where the Hanes manual got their info from. I'll trust my owners manual for service intervals over the Hanes manual. Other than that your video is very informative.
Nearly all vehicles fall into severe service, which is 45k.
Use a jack stand even if for a second under the car !!!!!!!!!!
Fair point, you're right. Complacency is #1 killer
did you do the piston rings yet.....They go out on these engines
Haven't had that issue yet, no.
Awesome video.
Great video
I was going to do my transfer case at the same time but i couldnt find it, still. So i did the transmission fluid, frain and fill. I removed 4 /2 quarts. Next issue was i couldnt get the level plug off. It was on there tight. Hindsight, while under the car i should have loosen it then remove it hen i put the car back on the ground. So Plan B was fill will 4 1/2 quarts, what i took out of it. Npw im off to drive it. Fingers crossed.
Good video, but when doing a transmission fluid change, you want to keep your vehicle completely level
How about measuring what you took out to refill.
no need to if your using the fill plug in the side of the transmission. This is not a VW...Much easier.
What. A. Dude. I. Make. Things. Hard
ever have any issues of slipping after changing the transmission fluid
Does it make a difference with changing awd trans fluid
How much transmission fluid should I put? Not to overflow it.
So in the end, how many oil you put it in?
jai fait changer transfert case sur mon gmc terrain 2015 et la jai une vibration et un grondement lorques je roulle sur la route
not amsoil this time ? when will u do another drill n fill on this car ?
In another 30k miles and I'm planning to do a side by side between maybe with another Blackstone analysis on each.
Do you recommend to change my transmission oil has 140k miles
Assuming you have the same vehicle and it's never been done before, yes it's time to change it.
Will change the transmission for mines then, my terrain is at 120k miles
Was iffy at first cause i heard all kinds of theory that changing it can make the transmission slip
@@jahmurlopez379 thats flushing, dont flush
@@jahmurlopez379 Did you ever do it? Did you follow this method? Mine also has 120k miles and was debating it.. Was thinking of doing the remove 2 quarts add 2 quarts method weekly until I reached 8-10 quarts
Could I use Ramps to drain. Fill while on top of ramps. Bring it down. Then do the overflow plug?
As long as the entire vehicle is on ramps (front and rear) or you bring it down when you fill/check level. It is very important to have the vehicle level when checking fluid level in ATs.
@@10minutejobs88 I only have ramps for front. Which means I have to take it to reverse to get it down, then forward to bring it back to garage and level. Is that safe at this point (drained fluid but didn’t fill)?
@@hanDIYdude You could do it with engine off & in neutral., with engine on? nope, trans pan can't be empty. It'll ruin the tranny. Plus it won't drive either since it needs fluid to create pressure to be drivable.
thx man
Happy to help, thanks for watching!
Is this all wheel drive?
No this is FWD model
Chock the wheels , even with the e brake on, if you jack it up . This could save your life
What maintenance manual are you using?
Haynes manuals
That's not where you put the jack stand on a pinch weld
And what about the filter
Filter is inside the tranmission. So just drain and refill
You only replaced about one third of the fluid.....
dude yous a rookie on everything , 1 neva get on a car that low , 2 lift the car ,tires higher then you feet smh
