Rachel 0 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hello, I don't have much info about my used 2015 Chevy Spark. I am at 26,000 miles no check lights, no engine issues. I just had an Oil change, they did not check the transmission fluid. I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to check the transmission fluid and at what mileage I need to do this?

Ray Dockrey 97 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Manual says there is no dipstick and there is no way to check it. Some on here have said there is a dipstick located under the air filter housing and you have to remove the filter housing to get to it. I personally wouldn't worry about it.

boozy 0 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Tranny fluid won't be an issue for a while. Check the manual for mileage. It lasts a while. I am just doing mine now at 90,000 miles. I have had no trans issues, just doing it for fun/boredom, and most likely for the only time in the cars life. It is recommended at ~97,000miles for a 2013. Link to post Share on other sites

That could save me some cash right now. The manual says different, but I am open to real world answers. Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Dockrey 97 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Go by the manual. The 13's had a four speed automatic. The 14's and up went to a cvt. Link to post Share on other sites
Bobby MSME 100 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Change tranny oil if your car has undergone SEVERE OPERATING conditions. I would guess at around 36k miles. What is severe operating conditions? These are MY DEFINITIONs: A. lots of stop and go driving in heavy traffic on regular basis B. Driving on steep hilly roads routinely C. Carrying heavy loads or trailers frequently D. If you or other drivers drive in digital mode (foot is always pressing either gas or break pedals) (coasting to oncoming red light is very good for your car & pocket book In absence of above conditions, just watch for pink fluid leaking under car. If none is leaking just save your money and keep on driving. Link to post Share on other sites
