2018 atf level

Does anyone know if they fixed the atf or do you still need to check it ? I am think of picking up a2018 DCOR today.

 

Thats something that should be corrected at the factory by now

 

Fairly certain I read a post yesterday by a guy with low atf. It was an 18.

 

Yep...I remember seeing it too.

 

Just check it then you'll know 100%

 

Now that the tow package is standard equipment the amount of transmission fluid needed for all V6 trucks is the same. I can't imagine this being an issue going forward.

 

I don't believe it had anything to do with the Trans cooler being added to the Tow Pkg....(it takes an additional 0.2 quarts).. I have the tow Pkg. and my 16 was 1 1/2 Liters (qts) low.

I'd try to have them check it physically....NOT with their computer..!! They will NOT want to do it ... So don't give them the $ till they check it in front of you...

 

It's easy to check on a stock truck

 

Yes, but is it?

Of course it shouldn't have ever been an issue.

And since it has been, dealers should be happily doing the check as part of the pre sale prep.

If I was buying one I'd certainly be checking mine.

 

Don’t I need a scan tool to check it?

 

How do you check it? My 18 is 9 days old.

 

I don’t think they do. They just say they do.

 

no. procedure is in here

 

just how easy??

 

It's NOT easy to do it right. There is tons of info here on TW. That's why the dealers don't want to mess with it.

Easy was the old dipstick.

G.

 

should be? lol

 

I have no idea dude really none of us here would know

 

I just checked mine this weekend. Sure it's a 10 page manual how to do it, but honestly after doing so it was a piece of cake. I was 1 qt low.

If you want pain in the butt adjust the valves on a Ducati.

 

I have full skid plates on my truck so checking a stock fluid level is much easier.

You pin the thermostat and shoot fluid into the bottom over flow. That's all I care about

 

Ask them to check it before you sign on that dotted line. Make sure you test drive it too.
