Cooling System, Initial Fill..........17.0 quarts
AMSOIL Antifreeze and Engine Coolant

    If you want to flush automatic transmission.

    1- Remove transmission oil pan (Watch out for oil spill splash) slowly remove oil pan bolts and let the fluid empty. Clean the oil pan.

    2- Replace oil pan and gasket if reusable or place a new one.
    3- Fill with 4 quarts of automatic transmission (ENGINE OFF)
    4- Remove one of the oil transmission tube at the cooler(need adapter)and place rubber hose into an empty 4 quarts recipient.
    5-Start the engine (Transmission shifter in Park or neutral)and fill at the same time until the fluid looks clean.
    6- Engine off Replace automatic oil cooler tube and adjust oil level to his mark on the dipstick.

    P.S. If automatic transmission fluid is brown. That said to me clutch pack material is going down the oil???

    Hope it helps.

Want to change transmission fluid and filter

I took mine to a shop for a flush and filter change. Costed me about $240 all said and done give or take. the '03 (and other) denali's have a big transmission reserve and i believe they take approximately 16 quarts of fluid in the system. the trans fluid is around 7 a quart i believe, and I recommend a flush to replace all the fluid with new fluid before changing the filter so that when you change the filter out, you are running new fluid through it. I don't know how to flush the system without their special tool that straight swaps the fluid as the ****** is running, so that will have to be done by a shop anyways. As for the filter swap, I believe the filter is about $29 and you'll need approx 7-8 quarts of fluid to replace when you drop the transmission pan.

All in all, in fluid alone you will be spending approximately $175. $29 for a filter. let the shop make a few bucks and have it done by pros. I know they get discount on the fluids, but I figure I still spent $35 more than doing it myself for an hour or two of work. Not a horrific deal to be honest.

Slightly overfilling the transmission will not damage it. Driving it with almost no fluid in it will. Chances are, the bands in the tranny are burnt, and debris has also clogged the filter screen. It is probably worth trying to have the transmission flushed (traditional flush, NOT reverse power flushed) and the filter screen replaced. This may enable you to get a few more miles out of it. Also, there is a product called Trans-X that might help.

How do you change the transmission fluid in a 2004 GMC Yukon Denali?

At the bottom of your transmission there is a large square/rectangular pan (depends which trans you have). Have a large drain pan to catch 5 to 9 liters/quarts of transmission fluid. Undo all of the retainer bolts and carefully lower the pan (this can get messy for the unexperienced) .
In some cases the rear transmission mount may need to be undone and the rear of the trans lifted to allow clearance for the pan to be slid past the crossmember.
Replace the trans filter too!
