SOURCE: transmission fluid on 06 equinox

Regardless of what dealer tells you, there is no such thing as lifetime fluid. Even the best fluids such as synthetics should be changed. Change intervals should be regarded as false as well...If you changed all the fluids once a week your vehicle would last far longer than it does...Obviously this would take up a lot of time and $, but reasonably engine oil should be changed at at least 4,000miles, trans fluid every 25-30K. Otherwise the oil begins to chemically change loosing it's ability to do it's job and also carries fine contaminants with it that begin to wear components.

SOURCE: i need to check transmission fluid level on 2005

open the hood and find the dipstick for the tranny, passenger side up by the firewall, there are instructions most of the time on the dip stick.
have the car running and in park, on the dipstick there will be a cold mark for if the tranny is not warmed up, and a hot mark for if the tranny is at running temp. mark sure the fluid is in the checkered lines if not add fluid

Where is my transmission dipstick on a 05 equinox

There is no Transaxle level dipstick in the 3.4L Equinox engine. Chevrolet states in the owners manual that it is a zero maintenance item.
There is a bolt serviced, fill hole on the side of the transaxle case that doubles as the max fill level point where your mechanic can check the fluid level and color / smell for diagnostic purpose.
With my particular Equinox, regardless of the zero maintenance aspect of the transaxle, I plan to replace the fluid and filter at 150k miles for peace of mind.

Transmission fluid

The is description is on the internet & You Tube Video

It is on the drivers side, down low on transaxle,have
to reach it from the bottom, on your back

Remove the 12mm bolt holding a yellow dip stick,
sort of near one of the mounts

Apparently those transmissions don't last long,so if
you haven't been changing the fluid every 2 years, your
pretty much done,it will be slipping soon

Read the owners manual the all wheel drive transaxles are made by toyota and require special fluid and most gm cars after 2005 take dexron iv fluid . some of the early units have a label on top of transmission.

I have a 2005 equinox and had to replace the radiator. Some Transmission fluid leaked out and I would like to "top off" the fluid. Do I have to remove the battery casing to get acces to the top...

No, you add fluid in the same hole the check stick is located. Remove teh dip stick and put funnel in teh hole and add fluid in the same location. if that is a manual transmission you will ahve to locate teh check hole on the side of the transmission, normally passenger side or rear of teh transmission and add fluid at that location. Since the lines connected to your radiator I assume you have an automatic since manual transmissions normally do not.

How do you check the automatic transmission Fluid in a 2005 Equinox ?

pull out the red dipstick withe the enging warmed up and running. the fluid should appear more red than black- if it is black- fluid should be changed. level should be up to the line that says HOT but not over that line. if car is hot and level is at cold level or lower-find out correct fluid and add some 1/4 quart at a time and check level

Am I supposed to change the transmission filter in my 2005 equinox? If so when?

There is no service filter on your asin transmission. You can only flush the fluid. The fluid is NOT cheap. It takes a special fluid that is only, to my knowage, avalible at a dealership. The only filters in the transmission are for catastrophic failure. Meaning when the shop needs to take the transmisson apart when it fails.
