2012 sonic 1.8 automatic trans. I have searched for info is there a filter that you change or is just a drain and refill with fluid?. Car has 90 thousand miles never been changed.
You need to change the fluid but there is no filter that I heard of.
Mine was changed when my dealer tried to fix my trans leak the second time.. paid about 200. ..I swear they pumped it through the radiator cooler lines of the trans.
They dropped my trans to fix this last time..seems to be holding up.. I assume they changed it again and got all the orange dye out.
Think there was a procedure on here and I recall a youtube video..
I could see the trans drain plug on my car without removing anything.
The owners manual for my 2015 1.8 with AT days to change the tranny fluid at 45,000.
Sorry to bring up an old thread.Have a 2012 Sonic 69k. Transmission fluid was dark black when first changed 3k ago. I changed it a second time when I just changed the oil again & will do it again until it shows clean. Don't understand why it was so black?
On a positive note I have never had to replace brakes?
