What would be the difference.... one actually pushes oil while putting new oil and gets the oil out of your torque converter the other just drains and fills
I was more or less making a statement and the only time a flush is bad is when you don’t do it regularly and my car doesn’t have a pan or replaceable filter.... so a flush had helped out a lot but now that it’s out of warranty I’ll do drain and fills
Same issue with my 2014 Impala v6. about to hit 77k. Going on a road trip next week & i’ve noticed the past month or so of slower gear shifts. Did my oil change and then decided to check transmission fluid. Turns out it was pretty low of about a quart or more. Ended up just adding some and not draining any but will do that soon if the color gets uglier. Thanks for the vid! it’s hard to find videos for the V6 variant 10th gen bodies.
I have found that if I drain it, refill it with the same amount that came out. Run it a day or two and then do it again it pretty much stimulates a flush. You get most of the old stuff out.
Even the new impala having the 6T70 transmission; I got one in my 2015 Impala Limited LT except its the old body style from 06-13, it’s the same setup, drain and fill. Maxlife ATF is actually very good I used it on my car when the transmission had a whinning noise back at 56k. I usually change mine every 12 months. It’s already at 85k and still drives great.
I'm at 68k miles and it says online to get it done at 45k miles for this type of vehicle. I had no idea. Thought this was done around the same time you get plugs and wires checked. Gonna go out and check the color of the fluid in a minute. Hopefully we're okay. Gonna get it changed here in a week or two.
You should be fine who ever told you to get it done online is probably trying to push a sale, if you look at your maintenance guide book it tells you 100k although I like to do mines every 60k even tho I only do highway miles
@@tomb1944 Yea thanks ended up letting it go back due to torque converter shudder that was gonna be a whole new transmission to fix. Didn't have 7k. The 14 especially is plagued with this problem as well as other years of other models as well. Unfortunately
How do you check the transmission oil level properly? I haven’t done this yet, but I read on forums that it’s kind of a pain in the butt and it’s easy to overfill. Thanks any tips will help
I just bought a 2014 impala and it has 104k miles on it and I really don’t know if I should change the transmission fluid , I don’t know if the past owners have done it or not but I’ve heard different options of when it’s been so long it’s better not to change it and just let it be and the other of yes definitely change it. So does anyone know the correct answer because it has that much miles
It's good to drain and replace, but you take risk when you flush it due to the metal shavings that full to the bottom of the tranny. That's what I've heard at least.
Transmission took a shit at 44 thousand miles on my 14 impala. 2 months after the warranty expired. Went to 3 dealerships and none of them would help me get it fixed under warranty. Put a junkyard transmission in it and sold it. I'll never buy another gm. These transmissions are junk and none of them shift right from day 1.
@@johnnygarcia8355 I sold mine and bought a toyota 4runner with a 5 speed. The only reason I bought the impala was because I was offered a really good deal when a family member who passed away. I HATE newer vehicles I'll stick with the 90s or older. I have a Buick road master that drives and rides better than any of the garbage being made today. All new cars ride like shit! Constant issues with vibrations and bullshit like that. And don't get me started on the newer 8-9-11 speed transmissions. All these fools paying 70+ grand for new chevy trucks that have shifting issues from the day they drive off the lot.
Just to let you know the transmission lines are known to leak on these cars. Mine has 133,000 and I had to get my transmission lines replaced. It’s a poor design for them on this car. Was your car ok after you did the change? I’ve never changed my fluid have thought about doing it but, I’m scared. I will definitely not get a flush I’ve heard nothing but bad things about those.
Hi thanx for vid i asked the dealer he said its never change !!!!! And if you want to change it we will take 250 dollar and on your responsibilty and i read in catalog it changes at 75 km i am really confused
@@cgg6114 unfortunately i changed it outside in 80000 km .. its ok but i feel like i have delay in transmission sometimes after that some technicians said you shouldn’t change it all I should change it in every liter 🤷🏼🤷🏼
I have a 2012 but the stuff I'm finding is useless but this one gave me and idea where its at.. I bought a filter too but now im wondering where the fuck it goes to it looks like your engine but not like the older ones with a pan Haha 🤔 ADVENTURE TIME I GUESS
Just got 70k on my impala, i been told not to get a flush but a complete trans fluid change. Dealer wants $200 for it , I appreciate the vid.

This is easier than changing engine oil. Just drain & fill. My 2015 with 3.6 takes exactly 5 quarts. Make sure it is dexron VI
Thank you Johnny for the video
Did you change the filter?
No, it's a internal filter from what I understand, probably done during a rebuild..theres no pan underneath like the old school transmissions.
on the Wix filters page when you look up the filters for the 2014 impala, the transmission filter is listed as NS (non-serviceable).
I'm at 68k miles and it says online to get it done at 45k miles for this type of vehicle. I had no idea. Thought this was done around the same time you get plugs and wires checked.

Excellent video brother
Does the car not require a filter and fluid change? All my other cars had filters, but I've not changed the fluid in my impala yet. Thanks
Has a lifetime filter no filter change
The filter is in the transmission, so you change it when you change the transmission. Planned obsolescence?

Don’t do it if you don’t have any history of it being done just let it be but make sure you always check your fluid along with your oil.
Just do it. There's nothing but positive that can come from a drain and fill. No matter what the mileage is. New fluid can never hurt.

You probably got some car with major issues I had 3 crashes the other 2 my current one has 134k miles -2014 and still going strong
Sounds like you didn’t check your fluid.
Looks just as simple as doing a oil change lol
Did u change the grille on your Impala? I have a 14 and that grille is from new models. I like the newer grilles alot better. Just curious
same thing i was wondering. i know this grille comes on the 2.5L not the 3.6L
That’s the grille that comes with the Adaptive Cruise Control. It’s solid because there are extra sensors behind it.

@@saisal123
Did you change it by an ATF Device or manually from the hole under Gear box ? And how mutch liters did it take ?
That’s good but what about the filter that you need to change! Not only just change the fluid..
Hugo Gonzalez the transmission filter is seal in that car so it’s no way to change it only if u wanna take the transmission apart
Is there a transmission filter
Not on this transmission, only an internal screen that won't be a problem if you change the fluid regularly.
Is this the same for the 2.5L V4 because I cannot find a video on it
They do not make a V4
Yes they do I’m in one
@@StarrHill94 It's not a V configuration. The four cylinder is an inline 4 or I 4.
Roughly how much fluid did you drain? So I know how much to buy.
How do you check the fluid. Do you drive for 15min?
@Ace Ventura don't be smart it doesn't show specific directions
Thanks
I put 6 quarters on my impala 2015 ltz woukd I be fine
Does it need to be Dex VI? I just bought Castrol Transmax DEX/MERC for my 2013 Chevy Impala Lt 3.6
yes it has to be
Hard to watch , while your nose 👃 🏃♂️ ing...
Sounds like YOUR vagina is 🏃♂️ING.......... Have a blessed day!!!!!!
Did u check the transmission fluid with the car running or off??
He said he checks it when its hot you weren't listening

Take car of that snotty cold.😮
Hows it doing now?

no filter change?
You have to drop the transmission to change the filter. It's in sideways. I've read that with routine changes, you dont need to change the filter.
@@davefrom5thwarddam that sucks. maybe why the chevy dealer wants $275
