Thanks for showing this, you can also just use a cheap simple fluid transfer pump, they are like $10 at any auto parts store, amazon, walmart, etc.

Thanks brother I appreciate !

[@tnuoccag]

Super video, Thanks! And I really liked the super-duper-home-made-filling pump! One question though: if the fluid is "burned" and you do not recommend changing - what to do? Adding back the "bad" fluid - will it not ruin the transmission? Super vidéo, merci ! Et j'ai vraiment aimé la pompe de remplissage super-faite maison ! Une question cependant : si le liquide est "brûlé" et que vous ne recommandez pas de le changer, que faire ? Rajouter du "mauvais" liquide, cela ne va-t-il pas abîmer la transmission ?

[@basicdetail4512]

Thanks my friend i appreciate so mutch ! And yes if its burn i recommend to put the fluid back if your bucket was free of any contamination

Thanks for this work. I recently changed the transmission oil. Followed the exact procedure. The drained volume was slightly more than 4 liters. I put in 4 liters, ran the engine for 10 minutes on idle, switched off the engine, and removed the overflow plug. Unexpectedly, around half a liter came out before I got a thin stream. I am apprehensive that so much oil has come out. I'm not sure this much would not have come out had my engine been ON. So please let me know when more oil will come out of the plug when the engine is ON or off...

[@basicdetail4512]

Thats ok trust the overfill plug stream ... and the mesure got to be temps hot (more than 10 min ) like 20 is more realistic and the car have to run during the process

[@KumarKumar-fc2gc]

@@basicdetail4512 Thanks for your reply. I am just back after redoing it and found that the car engine must be running while you check the overflow plug. If the engine is off, the oil stream will come out too early, and your transmission will not get enough oil. There is a half-liter difference between the engine off and ON.

[@chefchris5133]

Check the level with the engine running and transmission at operating temp. If it is not running it will drain out too much fluid.

[@CyrissZyonn]

Your English is very good. Good video btw

[@basicdetail4512]

Thanks i appreciate 😁

[@outdoor044]

Great video. Much appreciated.

[@basicdetail4512]

Welcome :)

[@fortwoods]

I think that my takeaway from this is that leveling it isn't important if I am just measuring how much I remove and put the exact amount that I take out back in. I also don't need to bother with checking the overflow. But level means I get the most out of it.

[@basicdetail4512]

I understand your point but i dont trust the last person that do maintance on the car or if uou got a leaky tranny that can be an issue ... but yeah i agree with you too

[@CalkoLouie]

Nice Video I really enjoy it ,even your English language is great.

Thanks brother

[@ivanrosado1969]

Thanks for your video! Just got the Missus a used 2020 Sedona and I am getting everything to schedule. With transmissions I always follow the basic rule - take out 1 quart, put 1 quart in. Never fails. Was curious about your tool. Since I drive a VW, tranny oil must be pumped in. For that purpose I got a $10-$15 hand pump at my local auto parts which works fine. Just wanted to share. Great work with the video!

[@basicdetail4512]

Thanks brother I appreciated your words and great suggestion for the pump ! 👍 have a great day my friend

[@elmonteslim3711]

[@basicdetail4512]

Thanks

[@zbiggistardust6309]

There's something wrong here. I drained 3.7 liters of old oil. And when I filled it up, only 3 liters of new oil came in. So it is too little by 0.7 liters. I think you need to add additional oil from the top to make it earlier and not worry about the level control hole. What do you think?

[@basicdetail4512]

Just base your level with the overfill plug and dont worrie about it ...make sure that the car was hot when you take your reading

[@mlicciardello7884]

It would be great if you would show us how to install an oil catch can for a 2018 Kia Sedona. I have a 3.3 litre GDi engine like yours and I don't want any problems with the DI. Also I need to spray CRC valve intake cleaner to help with the carbon build up.

[@basicdetail4512]

Yeah a catch can can help but i dont want to install one because of the cold winter in canada the sludge can freeze and you have issue ... i prefer to clean it manualy when i do spark plug ever 60k mile ... if you want to see how to do it ... i done an excellent video about cleaning the valve on the 3.3 gdi

[@luisaguirre5595]

I recommend UPR catch can. They have universal catch cans that can be easily managed. They also have great in customer care. I just got a Sedona and know its DI. Will be installing a catch can soon.

[@owenhill-vf7ko]

They aren't needed! Change oil Synthetic with the filter every 5k miles and use top tier gasoline. 3rd generation mechanic and engine builder.

[@mlicciardello7884]

@@owenhill-vf7ko Top tier meaning high octane ?

[@najafff]

What if i just want to check my transmission oil level since there's no dipstick, just open the overflow bolt to see if dropping and if not ad oil, and should the car be running while doing that?

[@basicdetail4512]

Yes the car should run and be at the operating temperaturw

[@BMWE90HQ]

Couldn’t you just use a fluid transfer pump through the overflow hole instead of removing the battery?

Absolutely

Merci pour votre contenu, vos vidéos sont excellentes et nous aident beaucoup ! Merci ! J'ai un Santa Fe 2015 2.0T et je n'ai pas trouvé dans le manuel quand je dois changer l'huile de la transmission automatique. Pouvez-vous m'aider avec ça ?

[@basicdetail4512]

Merci beaucoup cest apprécié ! C'est essentiellement la même chose mon ami ... j'ai une santa fe 2013 et je vais probablement faire une vidéo d'ici cette automne sur le changement d'huile à transmission

[@evaristoandre]

@@basicdetail4512 Merci pour la réponse rapide. À combien de kilomètres dois-je penser à changer l'huile ? Mon Santa Fe a maintenant 147 000 km et je ne sais pas si le propriétaire précédent l'a déjà changée. Merci!

[@basicdetail4512]

Honnêtement 100,000km c'est l'idéal et par la suite au 50,000km mais c'est une opinion personnelle ... Hyundai recommande au 100k km si je me rappelle bien ... vu que tu a dépassé légèrement je recommence de recueillir l'huile dans un bocal propre car si elle sent le brûlé et noir foncé tu est mieux de la remettre dans la transmission

[@evaristoandre]

​@@basicdetail4512 Parfait, merci! Bonne Jornée!

Ca me fait plaisir ! A vous aussi

[@dinscool85]

Should we check level even if we are just pouring in the quantity of fluid taken out..

[@basicdetail4512]

It will give you an idea but the way to go is really to see the fluid dripping from the hole the car running

[@brandoncorwin129]

Why wouldn’t you let the overflow stop dripping when the car is running?

[@basicdetail4512]

Its fine if its dripping slightly

[@WonderfulSwordfish-jc4rg]

Hi, My car has 200k kilometres, apparently trans fluid hasn't been changed before, should I do a complete flush or drain/refill just like what you did?

[@basicdetail4512]

Unfortunately i recommend you to no change it or flush it , cause you risk to get problem ... slipping issue or dirt be lift and travel somewhere and block passage

[@WonderfulSwordfish-jc4rg]

@@basicdetail4512 and if we check the fluid color and it's still good?

[@basicdetail4512]

@@WonderfulSwordfish-jc4rg you alway can take a look if its not took dark but if it was me i will let go

[@Murfdigidy]

Agree don't ever do a full flush, always issues that way. The right way to do it is drain and replace, wait a week, and do it again. This will get most of the old transmission fluid out without risking your transmission from having issues after a full flush

[@LouisGuerra-v3d]

why didn't you have to change the Filter?

[@basicdetail4512]

Because the filter is not servicable without removing the transmisso

[@luisaguirre5595]

Long research. These trannys do have a filter like previous respond, tranny has to be dismantled. Yes just another manufacturing problem. Sedona here 148k+ mi with just one tranny drain/fill half way and about to do another.

[@NineInchTyrone]

Just put in what you took out

[@basicdetail4512]

Yeaj that can be true be you never know what it been done before or a leak can happen too

[@stevenweiss2148]

Be certain that you are not using a unlevel..level

[@basicdetail4512]

[@NineInchTyrone]

Do this every year at least

[@basicdetail4512]

Every 30k mile is fairly enough to me

[@stevecarlisle3323]

This guy is recommending to NOT change your fluid if it's BAD. What is this man thinking 😂😂😂😂

[@basicdetail4512]

Absolutely .... ask any mecanic what will happen ? I garante no one will change it for you if its too dark or burn

[@stevecarlisle3323]

@@basicdetail4512 If the transmission has burned oil in it, of course there is no sense to change the oil, because it need a rebuilt trans. You said to not add oil also.

[@richardt.953]

All was well until the last 5-minutes of the video where you started to get lazy (Non-contact thermometer is no where close to getting the actual Transmission Fluid Temperature); since you don't change the transmission fluid that frequent as engine oil, that canister you spent time to build will just be contaminated and needing a thorough cleaning before the next use... wasting more time with less accuracy... No 👍 this round. 👎👎

[@basicdetail4512]

dear richard wipe the foam from the edge of your mouth... the reading of the thermometer only indicates that the minimum temperature of the reading has been reached... it's a diy video....not everyone has one professional scanner... (and by the way I checked with my scanner off camera) and for the canister you are exaggerating... my canister will be dedicated to ATF Fluid use your good sense ....and it is probably cleaner than the fluid pump from the local mechanic.. . so richard if you know so much why watch my tutorials?
