Ok I have the new fluid, pan gasket, and filter kit.

I'm getting ready to do all this but have a question





When I'm checking the fluid level by removing that check plug......Do I leave the motor running in park???? Or should I check the level with the car off?????

Ive read 2 manuals and both don't say whether the car is on or off......Thanks

while its off is how ive always checked mine. ive never seen where its specifies myself either



The one, the only, ME.

You check the fluid with the engine running, vehicle level, in park and with trans fluid warm(over 100deg F).

You check ALL GM auto trans fluid with vehicle running. If you check it with engine off youll end up with the trans underfilled.
