Q: How to Properly Maintain the Automatic Transmission Filter on Cadillac CTS?
A: Repair and service of automatic transmission fluid and filter demands that you start by lifting the car along with vehicle support followed by placing a drain pan underneath the transmission fluid Drain Plug. Take out and dispose of the transmission Drain Plug which allows fluid to flow while you examine it for signs of discoloration and contamination. The service requires users to install a new transmission fluid Drain Plug followed by tightening to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). To free the fluid pan proceed by loosening its bolts. A rubber mallet can be used to gently tap when needed. Take out the fluid pan together with its gasket before you thoroughly clean and examine the magnet and pan and bolts and gasket for damage or wear. A long screwdriver should be used to remove the fluid filter while you use the universal seal remover (J23129) and slide hammer adapter (J6125-1B) to take out the 2 fluid filter seals. Install two new fluid filter seals onto the transmission fluid filter neck while smuggling the edges with lightly moistened transjel lubricant (J36850) or petroleum jelly. The installation of the transmission fluid filter should be performed into the transmission case while simultaneously putting in the fluid pan and gasket unless noticeable damage exists on the sealing surface. Secure the fluid pan bolts with 11 nm of torque when possible (97 inch lbs.). After filling the transmission to its correct level lower the vehicle down then check for any oilpan gasket leakages.
Q: How to Remove and Replace the Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid for the 5L40-E/5L50-E on Cadillac SRX?
A: The first task is to position the vehicle with a lift system before you can begin replacing or replacing automatic transmission fluid and filter components for the 5l40-e/5l50-e.

To break the gasket seal gently strike the fluid pan with a rubber mallet while the fluid drain process begins for inspection of discoloration and contamination within the transmission fluid. The first step is to remove the fluid pan bolts before taking off the fluid pan with its gasket . The magnet along with pan needs examination as well as inspection for any signs of damage followed by evaluation of bolts and gasket. The fluid filter requires a long screwdriver for removal. Next remove the two fluid filter seals with the tools j 23129 and j 6125-1b. Two new fluid filter seals require placement onto the transmission fluid filter neck followed by application of a small j 36850 or petroleum jelly coating prior to installation. Place the transmission fluid filter into the case before using the undamaged fluid pan gasket or replacing it with new material. When installing the fluid pan with its gasket apply them together before tightening the fluid pan bolts to 11 nm (97 lb in). Check whether the transmission contains the correct amount of fluid before lowering the vehicle for a gasket leak check of the oil pan.
Q: How to Replace the Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid on Cadillac XLR?

Start by removing the fluid pan together with its gasket before cleaning and inspecting the magnet alongside the pan bolts and gasket for any signs of damage or wear. The fluid filter should be extracted by using a long screwdriver while the 2 fluid filter seals need universal seal removel (J 23129) with slide hammer adapter (J 6125-1B) to disconnect them. Use new fluid filter seals to secure the transmission fluid filter neck besides coating them with 1 centimeter of transjel lubricant (J 36850) or petroleum jelly. The transmission fluid filter installation into the case needs the fluid pan to remain with the gasket before you tighten the fluid pan bolts to 11 nm (97 inch lbs.). The technician should fill the transmission properly before lowering the vehicle to check for any gasket leakage around the oil pan.
