Probably the most technically correct way to perform a oil and filter change on a 4L60e.
From oil , filter and seal removal to filling procedure
Thanks for the video for us DIY ers .
The best video by far on how to do a transmission fluid change.
Another helpful solution to keeping your fluid changed is to obtain a hand vacuum pump , Northern tool has one, and remove the fluid from the dipstick tube.
Just place tubing that will reach the bottom of the pan and pump until no fluid comes out... then refill with fresh fluid .. drive a few hundred miles and repeat the process. Valvoline max life fully synthetic fluid works well.
You can easily do this procedure in your driveway and repeat as often as desired.
Your transmission will thank you with smooth shifting and a longer life.
I have a 1995 Chevy K 1500 and only changed the fluid 2 time in 217,000 miles and she is now getting rebuilt for $2,500. She’s worth it considering the price of new trucks that loose value everyday. Love my old truck.
I have a 95 K1500 too. I’m driving it till the wheels fall off. Make sure they replace all of the solenoids.
Have a '95 K1500, too. Great truck. Rebuilt the transmission in 2018...works great. Couldn't part with my '95 (new GMC's around here go for 50 grand and up.
Wish I had found this sooner. I’m at least 50000 miles without a transmission filter/oil change. Time to get this done. Thanks for the “how to.”
You're very welcome! I'm glad this was able to help you out!
Solid video amigo. 16 bolts and square pan for the 4L60E and 17 bolts with 2 rounded corners in the back section for the 4L80E. Figured it out quickly when I climbed underneath my 1994 K2500 6.5TD and realized I had accidentally ordered the wrong filter. :) Good video!
This guy resembles the classic truck owner. Keep up the great videos man.
Hey thanks man, will do! And thank you for the comment I like that haha. Sad to say that I'm getting a new truck soon so I might lose that resemblance a little bit.

Great job with the video. You've made the entire process easy to understand.
I'll be accomplishing this task on my no-rust Alaskan 2006 Silverado this Spring or Summer. Thanks!
After owning our 2000 gmc jimmy for 12 years and only putting on 40,000 km.( Yes Im Candian. ) Having not driven it for 6 years and parked in our covered garage we decided to sell it. We had it inspected. The inspection said that we had a leak in the seal to the transfer case and it was overfull. There was not one spec of oil on our garage floor in 6 years. So I started researching videos. I came across yours and watched it many times. Even though we couldn't find a leak we decided to go ahead and change everything just like your video showed. If not for your video and step by step instructions i don't think we could have done it ourselves. Was there really a leak i don't know, we couldn't find one. But we now know if we ever again have to change the transmission fluid we can do it. Thank you so very much.
Hey man, thanks for the great and easy to understand video! Greetings from the Czech republic. Long live American cars!🎖
Just got a 1994 Chevy suburban 2500 and you helped make the transmission fluid and filter change so much easier thanks a 1000!!🤟🤟
Im so Glad I found your channel. Im fixing to do this for the 1st time on my White 97 k1500. (I do alot of the work on Betsy) myself..(saves me a lot of $$$) an since I'm a girl... It really saves me alot more $$$ than one might think;) Ive owed 3 of these Chevys now..an would Absoululy buy another1. This one is fixing hit 300,000+ too.
Nice video... I just did the fluid change on my 98 4L60E. I was able to just drop the pan opposed to removing any obstructions. I was able to undo bolts on passenger side, front & back of pan. Where the shifter is, I was able to just lower & slide the lip of pan past that... You have GREAT content...
Thanks for education on changing transmission fluid and filter. Great lesson
Thank you for the comment! I'm glad this helped you!

Great video man
Thanks for video. I need this seal puller..
Good job!
High question people say do not change filter when you got over three or four hundred thousand miles should I change the filter or not you did I'm thinking I am going to do it too I like your video a lot will subscribe
thanks for showing how to change filter. mine is 16 bolts pan
Great video
Lots of good Basic rules.
I never knew there was a seal removal tool like that. My old seal was hardened from age; it didn't come out in one piece. I had to use picks and screwdrivers to dig out all the small pieces. My new seal looked different, and it was a genuine GM part. I guess either style does the same job.
Great stuff
You said the right thing change it often if you tow mister construction guy
Very good.
Perfect video
Thanks man!
Gotta do my fluid and filter on my 98 blazer, just looking for the right filter as there seems to be a few different ones 😳 video was a great help tho got a rough idea on what to do now 👍
Good video
This is the best video on this topic that I’ve found on TH-cam and I’ve watched probably 20 videos on transmission fluid changes. Excellent job describing how to replace the filter. I didn’t even know what transmission I have until I saw this. I have a 98 k1500 z71 extended cab truck. Any idea how many quarts of fluid is the correct capacity? I can pull the pan and drain it and refill the same amount but I want to make sure it has the correct amount too. Just got the truck a few weeks ago. Not sure if the transmission has ever been done before!
Same. I watched 20+ videos and found this one to be the best
When you slid your finger over the magnet I cringed, surprised the shavings didn't slice up your finger! Great video tho, this got me ready to change my fluid
Haha, the shavings are so fine I don't think they'd hurt anything...good point though I didn't even think about that lol. Thanks for the comment!
awesome video sir! I have a question. I got a 96 silverado and there is a cross member blocking the rear bolts to the transmission pan. could I possibly unbolt it and knock it back a little with a rubber mallet to reach the bolts?
Great video gives me a good idea on what i need to do with my 97 silverado. Shes slipping and i ran into a 30 year transmission mechanic who mentioned to me similar to what you said. To drain the pan and use half of the old and half new fluid.
What are your thoughts on this?
I plan on doing what you did...put the old fluid into a 5qt jug to see how much was drained and then add new fluid accordingly
liked your video..... just subbed.............
In 07 they advertised a 100,000 mile no maintence truck , only had to do oil changes when it told you too , about 9 thousand miles the light came on , so i ran mobile 1 synthetic ..over 300,000 original motor , trans , transfer case and both pigs ...07 silverado 1/2 ton 4x4 cab and half
Thanks for posting this video. I am getting ready to change the filter on my 2001 Silverado and I am glad I saw this. When ordering a replacement filter from RockAuto I saw that there are different filters for the 4L60E transmission depending if it has a deep or shallow pan. How do you know what depth pan you have for ordering the filter? Also my transmission has a built in drain plug which makes draining the oil easier. Finally in my owners manual they only recommend changing the transmission fluid every 100,000 miles, but I'm sure it doesn't hurt to do it more often.
Exceptional! Thank you, Sir!
good video bro. enjoyed it. AuthorAr-BillyScott
Thank you!
If you do a drain and fill of really good synthetic fluid like Redline every 10k, do you really need to change out the filter?
Did I miss something when you drain the transmisión after you put the new filter? Good video by the way.
just did this yesterday on my tahoe. nice job on video but why didn't ya clean trans mating surface before installing pan? you cleaned pan but trans side still showed old gasket material. pretty easy to overlook stuff. i changed pan to one that has a drain plug. i forgot to move my magnet from old pan to new one. so i will be doing this again pretty soon.
You can also disconnect the cooler line start the truck and it will pump out all the fluid...as long as your quick on the key or have someone on the key while you watch the hose no risk of running the pump dry
What are your thoughts on transmission cleaner (seafoam) just wondering. Have you ever used it or do you think it's worth it? I use sea foam to clean the top of my engine i.e. crank case, fuel tank, etc.
Well mine hasnt been changed since i owned it and it has 278,000 miles. Ok do t.think the previous owner did any maintenance at all from what i can tell. I guess i need to find a trans pan with a drain plug in it so i can do it more often
what kind of wheels are on that I've got a 89 extended cab and I've been trying to find a good size for it. Also, was it raised at all or modified to fit those?
How much residual oil is left in the transmission ?
Does all the oil drain into the pan after the auto is parked ?
your video is certainly helpful.. i have a 93 chevy k-1500 5.7 truck was giving to me replaced all new charging sys.
and radiator wires plugs cap unfortunately transmission wires on drvr side melted on bell housing repaired wires one by one replaced blown trans fuse aswell..not sure if you can help but other day driving home from work truck wont shift up to 3 or 4th gr..reason i watched your trans mission fluid change going to do it and was going to replace the shifting solenoids hopefully this will fix the issue..if not maybe will have to replace ECM maybe went bad from the trans mission wires melted and fused together that i repaired no engine lights coming on..sure thankful for any advise you can give thank you sir
To add rtv is not recommended for anything related to atf other than permatex but isn't necessary. Other than that great informative video
I have the same Tupperware drain pan
oh man i have tons of petroleum jelly laying around my trailer ! so no issue there FOSHO !
Great video! I have what may seem like a weird question - at least it was weird to me when I saw it. I just bought a 1996 c1500 4.3L V6 and I don’t see a transmission dipstick anywhere. Have you come across this before and how do I fill it after the filter change? Any help would be appreciated.
Is it a manual transmission? Lol
