2010 Buick Lacrosse Trans Fluid Change.
Searched for a visual how-to on this maintenance and finally was able to do it from my Haynes manual.
If anyone else needs to know this small bit, here it is.

probably just saved me a few hundred dollars and thats 7 years after this was uploaded. my only issue is that i had a replacement key fob that wasnt actually made by buick so the screw wasnt lining up correctly because the hole was smaller so i ended up just hammering the small nail into the hole and snapping it off with pliers. good as new.
Great video!
Excellent video..Save us some $$ too.. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad it helped!
Thank you! I knew there had to be a way to do this without having a new key cut.
Regular Dexron VI or full synthetic Dexron VI?
i drive an 11 lacrosse 2.4L 4 cyl and mine takes full synthetic. if you go to a local auto zone or pep boys n give them ur year model they can tell you exactly which oil to grab. also you can run lighter or heavier oils and the car will still drive fine (buicks are beast mode) lastly if you check your manual to the car it will tell you as well
excellent..THX..!
Well the Trans oil capacity on Lacrosse is 9.5 liters, but when you service it, you only need 7 liters. *some oil wont be drained. dont overfill.
Is this the 3.6 or 2.4 liter motor?
3.0 V6
Very helpful boss!! You're clearly a smart and handy man! Subscribed and liked the video :) Saved me 200 bucks on my old Buick Lacrosse =D Lemme take you out for lunch??
Thank you! I got mine in the mail yesterday and couldn't figure it out. So i found you on the TUBE and will be putting it together tonight 😊
Couldn't get the pin back in
May the Lord bless you and yours, glad I ran into this video!
Ran over something on freeway hole in my transmission next to drain plug can replace that part would I need whole new transmission
Worked like a charm for my newly ordered fob for my 2013 Buick Verano. Thx!
That looks like a difficult add of fluid on trans axle part is that absolutley necessary or change you just drain and refill the transmission fluid?
this saved me a ton of money
does this car have a dip stick to check trans fluid .........Thanks, Willie
Hello. Yes, it does. Please check while the engine is warm and running.
Thank you!! 😃
Was your transmission slipping ? Is that how you new to change it or just routine maintenance. My transmission is acting up on my 2010 cxl awd. Any advice?
What mine would do was over-rev in some instances before going into the next gear. It did this for some years before I finally changed it. No problems ever since. Closing in on 150k.
Isn’t there a transmission fluid filter that also needs to be replaced?
Not sure. As an automatic transmission is usually a closed loop system, I've never seen one, only the gasket. I will check my Haynes repair manual and report if there is.
@@ephraimlee8614 I called a few places to get the trans fluid replaced and Aamco mentioned that there is a filter that needs to be replaced. I also found the filter in a trans fluid replacement kit on parts geek.
@@TheGr80ne Cool. Thanks for the update. Please post where you find when you do yours.
Hello, I have a v6 2010 Buick Lacrosse and my RPM is going all the way up to 4,000 RPM in second gear, it won't go into three gear all the time. Will changing the transmission fluid help? My car has 65,700 miles on it.
Good morning. It sounds like the trans is going but that shouldn't be happening at such low miles. Mine used to slip a little years ago, but hasn't happened since the change and I'm almost at 145000. I always recommend starting low and go high with car repairs. Changing the trans fluid yourself is the cheapest way to begin. If that doesn't alleviate the slipping, it could be a sensor or worse, the trans might need to be replaced. Good luck.
Best video out there for replacing the key
But don’t you still have to program the new fob??
Good morning. Yes, you do but the higher cost is usually cutting a new key. This saves at least that expense.
@@ephraimlee8614 ok thanks. I’m looking at other options after my dealership said 165$ to replace one key fob. I think that is ridiculous and a ripoff. There’s no way that process should be that expensive.
cool video...thanks for the info...gonna do mine this weekend!!!
Worked great -- most appreciative! Using a picture nail was key in removing the pin. For our car, we had to ensure the doors were closed when doing the progamming steps (on/off/change key/on/off).
Thx Ephraim, worked GREAT and saved me some $$$ too!!!!!!!🙌✌

I can see it just fine. Cataracts maybe?
My wife's key fob broke. The spring loaded flip housing broke . The fob housing is fine. I still have the key blade. Can you buy the spring loaded piece that the key blade fits into? So I can repair what I have without going to a locksmith. Canadian cars will not let you program a new fob without going to dealer :o(
Good afternoon. If you still have the cut key from the old fob, you should be able to purchase a fob from the dealer and have it programed through a private vendor, depending on the age of the vehicle. A major expense I found was the cutting of the new key. I hope this helps.
Although Canada may make it a little difficult to bypass the expensive charges from a dealership, it can be done. If not, at least you save on the recutting of a new key.
Why didn't I know this before? Thanks so much! My aftermarket FOB blade receptacle was a smidge shorter inside. Just a bit of filing on the end of my old key blade and the roll pin lined up. Thanks for pointing out this little known trick!!!
Im new to the fam im in a 2014 and need alot of info changing over from a ford crown vic
Thank you for the help!! I just fixed my key. Works perfect
This was very helpful - thank you!
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the video! It was the easiest to follow.
I did this and it I programmed the car. Would not start.
This is my fear 😨
I did this and it I programmed the car. Would not start.
There's a problem with HOW you programmed.
Thank you for the vid. I literally just fixed my key and your upload saved me a lot of $$$.
Great instructions for removing key.
I knew I would found a genius to save us money on that.
Thank you so much you are a godsend I actually bought two key fobs off eBay for less than $20 they are not oem but they worked thank you you have no idea how much money you saved me
I know I already thanked you for this. But just have to say thanks again. The dealer was going to charge me $192 total, $92 for the key and $100 to cut and install it. I bought a Buick replacement for $39, switched the keys like in your video, and instantly saved $153 dollars!!!!
The Buick dealership was going to charge me 200 for the replacement. You just saved me a whole lot of money! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you you just saved me $200 God bless you
great work mate
