• Q: How to Replace an Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid on 2005 Cadillac SRX?

  A: The first step to change automatic transmission fluid and filter requires properly raising and supporting the vehicle. A suitable drain pan goes under the transmission fluid Drain Plug for fluid removal followed by Drain Plug disposal allowing fluid drainage until you check the fluid for discoloration and contamination. Replace the transmission fluid Drain Plug with its new counterpart then secure it to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.) torque. The three locked bolts of the fluid pan must be unwrapped before gently tapping the pan with a rubber mallet. Before cleaning and inspecting the magnet and pan and bolts and gasket you must remove the fluid pan and its gasket. A long screwdriver should be used to extract the fluid filter while the two fluid filter seals must be removed by utilizing the j 23129 universal seal remover combined with the j 6125-1b slide hammer adapter. Place two new fluid filter seals onto the transmission fluid filter neck while coating them with j 36850 transjel lubricant or petroleum jelly before installing. Put the transmission fluid filter inside the case while installing the fluid pan and its gasket simultaneously when you intend to reuse the gasket. Fasten the fluid pan bolts while tightening them to 11 nm (97 inch lbs.). Complete the transmission filling operation with proper fluid levels before vehicle lowering and check for any fluid leaks on the Oil Pan Gasket.
