- I did not bother to check this HHR transmission oil pan for leaks. It just needs replacing as you may see. I go old school on the gasket though... this has always worked best for me.

Thank you this was really helpful. I hesitate to take it to Dealership because they change to much and every time after getting it back, it has never failed something always happens 2 weeks after or they don't replace things correctly.
Maybe because they think I am a dump female. I use to change my transmission oil and all on my jeep.
Thanks again.

Are you sure you used to change your own tran and engine oil and you're a woman, hmm !
You are wise to find a good local independent shop to do it. Don't want to bash all dealers but our local Chevy/GM store is not a good place to take a car for maintenance...based on my experience. You can see the way this is done from the video. Only way to get the fluid level right is with the car in a level position, engine running in park, remove the threaded plug, etc. Difficult to do without a lift unless you trust your life with jack stands at all 4 corners.
Just like a pro... The oil and filter needed changed for sure, thank you Steve... you got this.!!
Thanks Pappy! This car is really needing lots of work.
That pan really took a wack somewhere. Don't you just love this new no dip-stick transmissions? Great video!!
The previous owner did not believe in driving slow over bad roads, much less doing necessary repairs. Shop manual says 6qt. fill after pan replacement. It made a huge difference in shifting. Yes, no dip-stick is not the way to go as I will explain in an upcoming video.Chevy HHR 333740 miles and it still lives.
@@SteveAZ711 Wow
Gives me hope for the future of my HHR.
New nick-name for joe biden No dip-stick president! LOL
Great tutorial instructions are very easy to follow.98inch lb or 10 nm copy that,turn chevy on oil drain over night check for leaks.🤓😎🥳👍👍😜
Thanks for sharing
Nice work!
Looked pretty smooth,
Can't go wrong.
Thank you😊🙏
Great vid! I would have put a B&M drain plug in your new oil pan to make it easier to drain the fluid
Yyyyy
There is a port on the pass side to check level. Well, you open it and fill until fluid just starts coming out the port.
With the vehicle running or off?
@@mnmurph running. if off a lot will come out when you pull the plug.
Very good video sr, you said 7 qts of fluid when I drained fluid I has a little extra and a little thicker fluid, compare with new that is more thin,you think maybe some one add an additive, cause I've had this car for 12 years and haven't replace fluid till now ,with 173000 miles on it
It is possible. Thanks for the nice comment!
I've considered having mine done even though the manual says it isn't necessary with regular use. I only hesitate because of how doing a change can cause issues later if you go too long on the current fluid without changing it. Mine currently has just over 98,000 miles on it. How many miles were on the fluid in your HHR?
Probably 300000. The original owner all but drove it into the ground. If you are looking for more information. I suggest calling a dealership and asking them how often they recommend a fluid change on a 2.4l or 2.2l engine.
Thanks.
@@SteveAZ711 Will do. Thanks for responding!
Excelente información y video Cars Trucks, gracias por compartir, saludos.
Gracias, mucho gusto.
Did you get ALL the oil out just by dropping the pan? I thought you had to flush it out. And do you think the 2.2L is any different?
I did not flush the system. The pan was dented. I replaced the pan, gasket and filter.
It is a nice explanation tube, thank Steve.
I'm wondering whether I need to change the oil in my 2006 HHR which ran like 180,000 miles?
I changed mine at 333,740 miles, and as far as I know it had never been changed before. Chevy says that you never have to change it, if the car is used in normal driving. I guess one would have to decide what is normal. I know using it for towing or like a delivery van or taxi would not be normal. If it is not whining or hard shifting and seems to be fine...then I would not change it.
@@SteveAZ711 Thanks for your reply, I appreciated.
@@SteveAZ711 - On an HHR? Wow, that's a lot of miles! What engine parts have you had to change?
Do you think it is safe to do this at 125,000 miles?
Check out other people asking the same question. I would change mine... but you may not want to change yours. LINK...www.chevyhhr.net/forums/maintenance-upkeep-50/miles-between-transmission-fluid-change-32272/
I hit a big rock and it bent the oil pan underneath the HHR 2009 car car and I had it fixed and now I have oil spelling so I don’t know what they did I don’t understand and my transmission is slipping so I don’t know what to do
Call the people that did the work and explain your situation. Hopefully they have a warranty and can either fix or find what is the problem. Stay calm as it could be something different.
Hey Steve I have an 09 hhr I just change the oil but do you know how many quarts should I put ? thanks
Trany takes 6 engine 5 1/2 if I'm not mistaken.
I got an 09 HHR for free with bottom out oil pan. Has a hole a busted trany pan what would the specs be upon replacement?
Could this be a reason for the car not going into drive ? I have a 2009 2.2L
Low fluid level or a clogged oil filter could cause the HHR not to go into gear or go into gear very roughly. However, since the transmission is basically a sealed unit, it is very unlikely that low fluid or no fluid or clogged filter is the problem. I assume that all the fluid is still there. It also could be an electrical issue causing a shift solenoid malfunction. Have a qualified mechanic that knows something about these transmissions look at it. It may just be a loose or chewed wire(mice like wiring for some reason), some cars more than others.
@@SteveAZ711 thank you
I know this is old but Its most likely the transmission oil feed lines. They crack easily causing the car to lose the foward drive. (Assuming you still have reverse)
Lift car remove pan
Remove trans filter
Remove the 4 bolts holding the metal trans oil feed lines.
Replace with a new ($120+) or refurbished one from junk yard ($7) (if its still good)
Replace filter..
Replace pan and gasket..
Fill w 6 qrts
Drive around town playing Wu tang!
@@GesWho1904 what if it goes in drive, but don't shift out?
Thanks my friend
Always welcome
thank you for your video
Could you have added a plug hole so that you can service this transmission and change the fluid like every year or so?
Hi Mike! You know every time I pull a tranny pan I think of adding a drain plug just for the convenience of what you mentioned. It can be done, and I bet someone put a UA-cam video up with just that idea in mind. HHR transmissions generally do not require fluid changes, so the manual says about the HHR. The cars that do require fluid changes usually have very long intervals such as 50,000 miles 75,000 or 100,000 miles. My 92 Astro Van I believe is 10,000 miles.That said, I would still have to change the filter which requires removing the pan anyway. If one removes the pan like in this video, then it really is not a difficult repair. However, I still can't help thinking about that drain plug.
How many bottle did you put
6 full quarts and another 28 oz. So almost 7 quarts total is what I put in my HHR
How well does the vehicle shift gears now that you’ve changed the oil??
Normal, it up shifts and downshifts like it should.
Where did you get the dextran they didn’t have any like that at AutoZone
I believe it was Amazon.
How many miles were on this HHR.
333740 when I bought it for $400.
I was unable to locate on my HHR do I need to take the cover off?
yeah u do
@@YellowMCG much appreciated thank you!👌
Didn't show how you got the fluid in transmission
Marker 6:20
the pan wasn'"t bad but the filling process really sucks.
Oh it was easy to fill ok, but if I ever have to add due to a leak then the checking process really, really sucks. Mind you auto transmissions are not supposed to leak...but they do sometimes and with no dipstick then I am pretty much in the dark as how much to add without doing a shop manual checking procedure(soon to be explained.) NOthing was added to this tranny ever and it was over a quart low after 333740 miles. Luckily the trans fluid was not burnt. The suspension issues kept the owner from driving it... so it sat and leaked a bit more over time. ConnieAZ21's uncle refers to these small Chevys as "Throw away cars". Just use them up and throw them away. A different uncle bought one new and the other uncle made the comment. It was then that the beer drinking and arguing began LOL
Cuántos litros llevá
Amigo que tipo de aceite yeva
Dexron VI (6) ATF
From transsmition sorry
Ok put 6 quarts in and another 28 ozs. That should do it. Recap...So that is 6 quarts and 28 ozs. which is almost another quart.
@@SteveAZ711 thanks Steve I appreciate your time to respond to my question 👍
