Mastering Maintenance: How to Check Your Truck’s Transmission Fluid in 5 Easy Steps
Luke from Truck Transmission Specialists explains the importance of regularly checking your truck's transmission fluid to avoid costly repairs. You'll need clean rags, gloves, and the appropriate transmission fluid. Begin by parking on a level surface, engaging the parking brake, and letting the engine run to warm up the fluid. Locate the dipstick, usually towards the rear of the engine bay, and check the fluid level and color, which should fall between the Add and Full marks and be bright red. If needed, add the recommended fluid carefully to avoid overfilling. For any uncertainties or further assistance, contact Truck Transmission Specialists.
