How to Check and add transmission fluid to your car

"How to Check and add transmission fluid to your car" cover image

Check your car's automatic transmission fluid monthly! This will take a few minutes, but will increase the lifetime of your vehicle considerably. Just watch this automotive video tutorial to see how to check and add transmission fluid in your car.

Park your car on a level surface and start the engine, leaving your gear in neutral or park, unless instructed otherwise in your vehicle's owner's manual. Find the ATF dipstick located at the back of the engine. It looks a lot like the engine oil dipstick, but is shorter and usually red. Pull it, wipe the dipstick off, put it back in fully and take it out to check the fluid levels. You might need to add a bit of transmission fluid if it is low.

Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates are packed with new features, and you can try them before almost everyone else. First, check Gadget Hacks' list of supported iPhone and iPad models, then follow the step-by-step guide to install the iOS/iPadOS 26 beta — no paid developer account required.
