I can't be only one that thinks its absolutely ridiculous that you can't check the transmission fluid level like we have for the last 50 god damn years.

It would be fantastic if you'd left a link to the chart

are you able to make a video on how to replace clutch slave cylinder of 2008 dodge caliber? please

In reality if it would help anyone it would be better if you measured the length of the dipstick that way if somebody needed to check their flood level on the spot without buying a dipstick they could stick a thin piece of metal down in there to the right length and get a decent reading because going out and buying an aftermarket dipstick just isn't feasible of an on the spot check ...that's my opinion... I don't know why they done that in the first place I hate engineers they are about the goofiest people on the planet

you could just get a long wire fold the end so its not pointy. But that's just for checking color not level I guess.

Thank you for this. As I just got a Dodge caliber.

The fluid is funneled into that fill tube.

Does 2010 have this, because there is an empty space there on my caliber, and no transmission tube?

I just saw thay video and yea i was pissed

My 2011 caliber does not have a transmission tube. How can I check it?

Run it through the gears? It's a CVT, it doesn't have gears. Does putting it in L instead of D actually do anything if you aren't moving?

What is the quality of the 2008 Dodge Caliber Cvt gear oil?

VERY helpful. thank you.

VERY HELPFUL MAN!!!

I have a 2008 Dodge Caliber. I bought the same exact dipstick you have. I checked the fluid and it said 110. The chart says max level is 48, so isn't 110 too high? Or, am I supposed to convert the 110 millimeter to another number? I just bought the Caliber from a car lot and that's where they have the level.

Jonathan Bradley ... That's the old way to do it. These transmissions (CVT) will not function with the incorrect amount of fluid, + or - .

thank you!

I always thought it was funny how so many manufactured are trying to do the "Dealership only" They must forgot at some point these cars become "old" and adventually do not go to Dealershits anymore.

So I just need to add a little fluid to my caliber.. (changed and axle and leaked fluid) how do I add fluid and does the car need to be at operating temp or can I add it while it's shut off?

I posted this video so that people would know to identify the amount of fluid in their CVT transmission prior to conducting a repair that would cause fluid to leak out. If you don't know how much fluid you started with, then you've already missed the first step in identifying how much you need to replace.

@novasketch8658

4 жыл бұрын

Well drain out the system, the caliber only holds 7.4 quarts of total fluid, so you'll wanna let the rest of the fluid out, then identify how much came out once you drained the fluid, whatever that number is put it back in, and keep filling it back up until you get to that level that you need. Optimal level with that dipstick is 36. Keep in mind to do all the proper steps to ensure you do it correctly. He is wrong about not being impossible, it onlu adds a couple extra steps. And if you ive fill it there's a drain bolt on the side of the transmission, use that to drain the amount of fluid necessary to get it to the proper level

@novasketch8658

Preferably do it off, and you can add the fluid through the same access point that he shows in the video. Thats not just for the dipstick use. That's for checking fluid level and adding fluid in.

I read somewhere that I can only use mopar fluid, is that true?
