I own an 06 Cobalt SS automatic (2.4L) and in my owners manuel it said no serice is needed HOWEVER i drive the car to school everyday and use it as a delivery vehicle for Dominos pizza...under those situations the manuel says to change it at 60K

I got the specs on the kind and how much (Dex VI 6.9 QRTS i believe) BUT my problem is the car doesn't have an actual dipstick or obvious place to dumb the trans fluid into...that being said we decided not to unbolt the pan because we didn't wanna get screwed over with no trans fluid


Has anyone ever done a trans service on a cobalt with a similar set up to mine??? and if so how?

Thanks

Also is anyone going to the OC MD cruise may 20th to the 23rd? (this is the huge spring cruise)

 

The 4T45E's don't have a conventional dipstick or fill.

In order to change the fluid, you must drop the pan, and then fill it through the red cap that it on the top of the transaxle, next to the engine.

Once you fill it up, you need to remove the check plug to ensure the fluid level is correct. It should be on the side of the trans, by the axle. If fluid dribbles out, the level is correct. If it pours out, its overfull. If nothing comes out, its underfilled.

Hope that helps.
