Do you think you know the proper way to use an automatic transmission dipstick? It may be a lot more complex than you ever imagined. • This video is intended for students in the online AUSV 2520 Automatic Transmissions class at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. This class is normally taught face-to-face, but due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, I am attempting to offer the class material online. Suggested quiz questions are shown below the video timeline. • TIMELINE: • 0:00 Introduction • 1:00 Two pages of dipstick instructions • 1:40 Preliminary Checks and procedures • 2:30 Transmission fluid temperature monitoring • 3:05 Cold Check Procedure • 4:30 Results of the first cold level check 80 Degrees F (26.7 C) • 5:23 Results of the second cold level check 84 Degrees F (28.9 C) • 6:20 MUST-SEE: The real purpose of the Cold range on the dipstick • 7:25 Fluid color and condition check • 9:26 The engine warms up quickly, the transmission slowly • 9:47 Waiting for the transmission fluid to reach 160 degrees F (71.1 C) for the Hot Check Procedure • 10:28 Ran out of gas, Shop Vehicles! • 12:15 Unable to drive training vehicles to warm up the transmission more quickly • 13:42 Fluid level check after 56 minutes of idling at 144 Degrees F (62.2 C) still too cold. • 14:00 Dipstick latch and seal function • 16:38 Results of the fluid level check after 84 minutes of idling at 160 Degrees F (71.1 C) • 17:09 Hot check procedure • 18:08 Interpreting the results of the hot fluid level check • 19:38 Must See: Results of the fluid level check after 84 minutes of idling at 170 Degrees F (76.7 C) • 19:53 Must See: Results of the fluid level check after 84 minutes of idling at 180 Degrees F (82.2 C) • 20:11 Must See: Results of the fluid level check after 84 minutes of idling at 190 Degrees F (87.8 C) • 20:45 Video summary • 22:05 Results of the cold fluid level check with the engine off • 22:40 Some transmission fluid levels are checked with the engine off • 23:18 Why the dipstick has been removed on many modern vehicles • 23:59 Different types and styles of dipsticks • Questions for Teachers: • 1. Does the vehicle need to be parked on a level surface or an inclined surface? • 2. Does the engine need to be running during the fluid level checking procedure? • 3. If the engine must be running, at what engine rpm should the fluid level be checked? • 4. If the engine must be running at a specified rpm, how will you verify the proper rpm? • 5. If the engine must be off, are there any conditions that must be met before checking the fluid level? • 6. Are there any procedures that must be met before checking the fluid level? • 7. Does the transmission cooler have a bypass valve? If so, how does it affect the ATF fluid level? • 8. At what temperature range should the cold fluid level be checked? • 9. At what temperature range should the hot fluid level be checked? • 10. What temperature is being referred to in the previous question? Outside air? Coolant temperature? Transmission fluid temperature? • 11. How should you measure that temperature? • ABOUT US: • Weber State University (WSU) - Automotive Technology Department - Automatic Transmission Lab.
