ReferencesAbout This ArticleArticle SummaryX To add transmission fluid to your vehicle, first check your owner’s manual to be sure you know what kind of transmission fluid to use. When you’re ready to add the fluid, keep your engine idling and put the transmission in park. Make sure to set the hand brake for safety. Remove the dipstick from the transmission fluid reservoir and insert a funnel into the hole. Pour the fluid into the funnel slowly, taking care not to overfill the reservoir. The amount of fluid you need will depend on whether you’re topping off the fluid or completely replacing it after draining the old fluid. Then, push down on the brake pedal to help distribute the fluid through the car’s gears while the engine is still idling. Check the transmission fluid level one more time using a dipstick and add a little more to top off the reservoir if necessary. Put the dipstick or cap back in place when you’re done.

Did this article help you?How much transmission fluid do I add if empty?If the transmission has been drained, you will need 4-12 quarts of fluid to fill it back up. Follow the vehicle service manual for the recommended type and amount of fluid to use. If the fluid is very low when it is checked, then add more fluid and look closely for any leaks.
How much transmission fluid is in a transmission?How much transmission fluid your vehicle needs ranges from as few as 8-9 quarts for small passenger vehicles to more than 20 quarts for heavy-duty trucks. As you do when determining how often to change transmission fluid, check your owner's manual for the transmission fluid capacity.
Can I overfill my transmission?If you overfill it, the transmission will experience hard shifting and slippage. Another consequence of overfilling your transmission is that it will cause the fluid to lose its lubricating properties. It could also lead to the entire system blowing up and not functioning.
