Scotty, can't you tell the proper level by screwing the plastic plug in and not the metal drain plug yet, then filling it until it gets to the level that it is starting to pour over the plastic plug again and come out and then it will be the proper level and you can put the metal plug back in after that. I thought the plastic plug had the shaft on it because it goes into a pan up to the fill level and after that it goes over the top and out the center?

Recommend caution when refilling with same amount taken out unless your are super sure that it was properly filled to begin with and also that your measuring method is accurate. Otherwise I would recommend refilling with stated capacity in your manual or Haynes manual. For added assurance most of these allow for finger checking the level through the fill hole or another level checking hole. Love your videos Scotty, you are the man.

Scotty, you had me screaming at the screen until you said to put back what you took out. Those tubes are the overflow to tell you when its full at a specified temperature. My VW has an Aisin transmission and you need a scan tool for the temp, or you do exactly what you did with put back as much as you took out. The only difference is I have to fill it from the bottom.

I heard my vehicle has a sealed transmission. So no drain plug etc? I have a 2015 Jeep renegade trailhawk and I want to keep up with the maintenance. They wanna charge me 380 for transmission fluid change. Using a special machine to suck it out completely whatever. I heard their transmission fluid is like 40 a quart too. So could I do it myself then? Or is it really sealed

Scotty, I just bought a 2008 Honda CRV with 65K miles. It was a single owner car, garage kept, and only driven 6 miles a day by an older couple. The transmission fluid has not been changed, although everything else has been extremely well-maintained. Should I change it since its close to 50K miles, even though its 12 years old?

scotty kilmer thanks for the much required video tutorial. I have 2 questions1. After pouring new fluid don't i have to go to a specific temperature for the cvt fluid and again loosen the drain plug to see any amount is coming out or not? 2. After finishing filling up properly is calibration necessary?

I buy transmission fluid ONLY from the dealer for my car. The engine oil that I use is Liqui Moly. People say that they don't change their transmission fluid and I try to tell them that they should, but they say that it is lifetime. At that point, I stop arguing.

People don't understand that lifetime doesn't mean your lifetime or the rest of the cars lifetime. It means the warrantable life of the part. So when they say It's lifetime fluid that means it will last the warrantable life of the transmission.

Where do you get those screw gaskets? I was thinking of doing that when I change my oil but I'm not very confident with looking up stuff like that. I assume that they're very specific when it comes to what type they are.
