Transmission fluid required - 1999 Daewoo Lanos

The amount of transmission fluid required for a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt can vary depending on the type of transmission and whether or not the transmission has been completely drained. However, as a general guideline, the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt with an automatic transmission typically requires around 6 quarts of transmission fluid for a complete fluid change.

It's important to consult the owner's manual or a certified mechanic to confirm the exact amount of transmission fluid needed for your specific vehicle. Overfilling or underfilling the transmission with fluid can lead to mechanical problems and reduced performance.

probably too late as brake fluid under the extreme temperature turns to tar in a transmission
Suggest that it may be possible to salvage the transmission but it will require a professional shop to do it and you will have to have it towed there
It will require a full flush with the engine running to remove the contaminated oil in the transmission, transmission cooler , lines servos and torque converter
The cost is mostly transmission fluid and will run out to be between $200 and $300 dollars
Put that against a replacement transmission $1000 dollars and it is cheap

Warning on the use of incorrect transmission fluids.

Many people are using the incorrect specification in auto transmission systems requiring Dia Queen SP III transmission fluids, this is due to confusion arising from the fact that many people believe DEXRON III is suitable, IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR MITSUBISHI AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS requiring SP III.

you did not state the type of transmission that you have, assuming that it is an automatic transmission.
the transmission used in the Passport models is an Isuzu transmission, so it requires inexpensive and easily available Dexron/Mercon fluid. not special Honda ZF fluid that all other Honda transmissions require. another person said that they use Dexron3 fluid in theirs.
the capacity for the automatic trans. 2 & 4 wheel drive are 9.1 US quarts.

TRANSMISSION FLUID

Checking automatic transmission fluid

The 5R55N transmission does not have a transmission fluid dipstick.

Refer to your scheduled maintenance guide for scheduled intervals for

fluid checks and changes. Your transmission does not consume fluid.

However, the fluid level should be checked if the transmission is not

working properly, i.e., if the transmission slips or shifts slowly or if you

notice some sign of fluid leakage.

Transmission fluid should be checked and, if required, fluid
should be added by a qualified technician.

These vehicles do require transmission fluid changes, but at a higher mileage. In fact some models come without a transmission fluid dipstick to check the level. It is recommended that when transmission fluid change service is performed, that a fluid evacuation/fill machine be used, commonly known as a transmission flush.

Checking the transmission fluid in your Volkswagen isn't as simple as it used to be. To check the transmission fluid level requires your vehicle to be on a lift that it can be set level on. With the engine running and transmission warm, a plug has to be removed from the bottom of the transmission pan. This plug is at the base of a short stand-pipe (tube) inside the transmission oil pan. With the plug removed a small amount of oil should spill out (what is trapped in the stand-pipe) and if the fluid is at the correct it will continue to drip. If that is the case the transmission fluid is at the correct level. If all that comes out is what is trapped in the stand-pipe then the fluid level could be low. To add fluid to the transmission requires removal of the fill plug that is located on the front left upper corner by the oil pan. Oil is added at that point until oil starts running out or dripping from the stand-pipe. When replacing the fill plug you also need a replacement lock for the plug from Volkswagen. Many of today's vehicles are equipped with sealed transmissions that require specialized procedures, equipment and parts to check the transmission fluid level. Sorry for the bad or good news. This way just make sure that the person services the transmission to keep the warranty valid. 

Yes this is special. only use ATF4 fluid. Get it at your dodge dealer or any auto parts store

MERCON (R) Multi-Purpose Automatic Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX

CAUTION:
Using a transmission fluid that indicates a dual usage MERCON and MERCON V in a transmission application requiring MERCON, may cause internal transmission damage. The use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage. Some fluid labels may indicate dual usage such as MERCON and MERCON V. These dual-usage fluids are not to be used in transmissions that use only the MERCON type fluid. These dual-usage fluids may be used in transmissions that require MERCON V use.
