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
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.
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.
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.
Great video!
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.

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?
Isn’t there a transmission fluid filter that also needs to be replaced?
