Thanks for showing how it's done, & for taking the time to video it. I'll be doing this to my 08 Cobalt with a 2.4 next year. The Cobalt only has 81,000 on the clock. I don't drive that much anymore; Maybe 30 miles a week, But due to it's age it's time to do it. Thanks again for the video it will be very helpful. I went ahead & book marked it; For a future reference.

I believe you're supposed to put your trans fluid in and then warm the trans to 104 degrees. Run it through reverse and drive. Then pull your plug and check for a stream. When the stream subsides, put the plug in and now you are full. If you fill as shown in the video, you will be about a 1-1/2 qts low.

@@michaeleshbaugh6797 On later vehicles, almost all transaxles with side level ports require warming the fluid and letting the excess drain to proper fill level. I don't know why the old dipstick hot/cold reading isn't accurate. Maybe because the later trans designs would'nt allow the stick to reach the fluid. I also read that mnufacturers went to this method because people were always over or under-filling transmissions. It's probably just to make it harder for the diy-er. Ha

Yeah. that car should be running when he fills it, when the car is off....the fluid drops back in the pan from the torque convrter. Normal level when car is off is well above that level hole.
