Will any of these work with our cars? Or maybe they will make one for ours?

I sent them an e-mail.

You Know, we have electronic everything, why could not a level switch that could at startup check to see "level" or maybe like engineering mode where like most of us who are car "people" idle the car like they say and in again Engineering mode and run a level test. I mean it just makes sense. Even though I have the dealer do my oil changes since the do a Mobil 1 change for 75 bucks and check my tranny fluid level, I like to spend an hour every 2 weeks or so going over all fluids to be sure. This process we have now is just crazy........

They don't and they won't. I've already tried everywhere. It will need to be custom fabbed.

Hello Norm,



At this time we do not offer a dipstick for the 6L80E transmission. This is something that we will be looking at in the future even though I do not know of any type of a time frame for this. Please feel free to call me at 877-469-7440 ext 8900 should you have any questions.


Thanks,

Jeff M.

I called my dealer (quick lube) and they will not check my transmission fluid. I think the G8 scares them.

They WOULD take my money for a Mobile One oil change. I figure if I have to jack the car up to check out the transmission I might as well change the oil and rotate the tires too.

I hear ya, but for me, while I have the jacks and stuff, do the oil changes on the wifes car, Mobil 1 costs 25 bucks for a 5 quart container and I need 2, plus 10 bucks for the filter (Good one), I might as well give them the 15 or so bucks and let them do it and they do the trans fluid check as a freebie.

Is it important to only pull the plug within a couple minutes AFTER running the transmission through Drive and Reverse? I noticed after a little while (while waiting for the transmission to warm up) fluid would begin to run out. It would stop if I ran the transmission through the gears again. I'm thinking this is drawing the fluid up into the valve body?
