When you change your transmission fluid it should be all black and sparkly looking correct? Ha! Holy smokes was I shocked and disappointed in waiting this long. Hell, You could mix the gear oil from either differential together with the Mobil 1 5W30 inside the oil filter and still pour out a cleaner, more clear liquid than the $hit I just sucked out of my transmission. Now I’m scared to drop the pan, but I know my Denali will thank me when I’m done.
*FYI: I did have a broken trans dipstick tube so how much of that dark tint is the result of dust and dirt from the roads?

Here is proof to any of the new owners or young guys out there who might consider “nah ill get to it later”, or “it can wait until the weather warms up”. Nope! I’m sure glad that I didn’t wait any longer on this fluid/filter change.
I had a similar deal with my equinox. Figured out how to change it. It was a “non serviceable” deal. No dip stick. But found that there was a filler cap and a way to do it diy. Thing shifts better now.
