- This video shows you how to change the front differential fluid, rear differential fluid, transfercase fluid, automatic transmission fluid, and engine oil from a 2015-2020 cadillac escalade. This particular model is a 2017 cadillac escalade luxury.
Now you have shown the importance of gear box maintenance by the condition of the fluid and metal shavings. Great video
I just got finished replacing the fluid on my 2018 Escalade, Front Differential. The more complicated part was removing the black cover. The fill plug was on real tight and the drain plug very loose. Only difference is I used Amsoil Gear oil. 75W-90 severe gear oil. I thought that at 15525 miles the fluid was going to come out like new. Boy what a surprise. It was dark and there were some filings on the drain plug magnet. I had done the transfer case at 11500 and found the fluid to be really dirty too. I know this is waaaayyyy before what the book wants you to do, but having done it I am really glad I did. I also change my oil every 5000 miles. To me all this is cheap insurance. I enjoy doing this sort of thing and I save so much on the labor it would cost at the dealer its a no brainer. I do have a couple of torque wrenches and I would recommend using them. I'm not a mechanic so I don't need the very best there is I just got one that was good for the few things I do. On this occasion I used my Park Tool torque wrench. Next adventure will be the rear diff and then the transmission, the latter being a bit more intimidating. Thanks for the awesome video!!!!!
You are one of the smart ones. I learned early on, to do early maintenance rather than wait.
The Best maintenance vídeo I have ever seen to be done step by step on a Cadillac Escalade , great job 👍 I have 2019 Cadillac Escalade and I have almost 50000 miles on it but this video is extremely helpful for Cadillac Escalade owners now we know how to extend the life on our vehicles
Great vid. I would have never thought of using the bottle jack to help with the trans pan that was a definite cheat code.
Great video my friend. You do a wonderful job explaining it all. I just had all mine done at the dealership and it set me back about 600 bucks. I’m getting to old to do what you did, but I really enjoyed watching it. Luckily as you get older you usually have enough money to pay you young guys top dollar to get er done. Loved the video.👍👍❤️
Hi Donald where did you get the full service done from? im from cali and delivership in stockton quoted me $1300 including coolant change excluding transmission oil change
That's a great price for all those things.
Great job on your fluid changes, We were waiting to hear all of fluid type weights on rear diff. Front diff your showed full sym 75 90. Oil we could see 0 20 full sym . Did you reuse Trans pan gasket. Was the jack you used the one in vehicle to make clearance to remove pan .and What gm oil filter on the new 6.2 .
PF 63 ? Few more minutes and how many exact quarts on everything could have made it. Perfect. Thank again. 👍
Great job that's the way to do is to let us know what size tool is needed please keep up this up I'm be watching
Great video.. I have a 2015 that has 52k miles. Just got the oil changed but I need all the other fluids changed & the radiator too.. This is why I'm seriously considering a EV next time around lol
Thank you! You saved me over $600. Merry Christmas!
Appreciate the in depth video! 👍🏾👍🏾
Great video man! Are you going to do one of how to change brake pads and rotors? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good video but did i miss the part on how to check the trans fluid after the refill?
Awesome Video, great instructions and information.
لو سمحت بالنسبه لسوبر تنري. ممكن تذكر كل الاضافات واماكن شراءها
The differential need to be cleaned out. There is always metal below the ring gear. You have to take off the cover. Run it with the new fluid for a few months, then drain it by removing the cover. An extra change will actually help!
Great video. funny thing is my 2011 Yukon is the same setup behind the body panels
Great video man
can you link or name the tools you used for this?
great video and awesome suv
just bought a 2015 escalade with 50k miles 2015. It drives very rough due to what seems like transmission problems. Car clunks into gear when rolling down hill no gas. Sometimes car delays when going park to drive and kicks into gear 2 seconds later. Rolling out from a stop and car goes into neutral for half second then slams into gear. It always feels when going up hill like the car is in too high a gear. Now the thing is that I don't know if it had the 50k service. Do these sound like items that could be addressed with service? Any way to check the car to see if it was serviced. There's no dip stick for the tranny. I know there are a lot of folks that say differential and trans flushes seem to work wonders, but other that say flushes can hurt. Thank you and great video!
How was it driving about u drained it? Was it skipping?
You are pretty picky, so why did you not waste a little fluid to run it through prior to filling them up? Just wondering. I don't have that many miles on my 2018 but I think I'm going to change both as soon as the garage floor is a little warmer.
If you defi fluiid turned gray that means it's gone past this life cycle and has no lubricating properties left
Can you make a video on how to change the short drive shaft
@thatshortguy91 how many bottles (quarts) when in the rear diff?
is the only way to refill the transmission fluid on these trucks with a pump. I had an 09 Yukon and I could refill from the top tube. I can't say I've even seen one on my 2018 Escalade, but honest I haven't looked. I only have 14,600 miles on it.
Cocora22 yes that’s correct I have another video on exactly how to do the atf fluid change. The only way is via a pump from underneath the truck
I'm working on a 2015 cadillac cts transmission service there's not a plastic plug or torx bit on side for refill , what can I do , 3.6 rwd
what oils and lube did you use?
How much you charge for this full service brother ? What state are you in ?
I don’t do work even for cash outside of my own cars, but I’m in Texas
@@ThatShortGuy91 Thank you for getting back with me nice Sir , good for you and thank you for sharing your work with the world . God Bless 🙏🏻
What are you using to lift cadillac?
Do you put permatex gasket maker when putting transmission pan back with the gasket and the rear differential gasket ??? Yes or no
You have something I don't. The 2018 rear differential cover does NOT have either a drain plug or a fill plug which makes it annoying as hell. Only choice is to remove the cover. Sorry, does have full plug of course.
Really good job.
Are you from Houston?
Hey there I have a 2015 Cadillac Escalade platinum do they have a dipstick to check the TRANSMISSION FLUID I have 2codes the transmission temperature sensor there are 2 parts for it to get that done and the other code is the transmission control module
Your screwed if not under warranty. That’s a commen issue. Had to have my tranny rebuilt. Runs great now.
What is the amount of transmission oil exactly?
Didnt really talk much on transmission service. That would have been great
Amazing video very in depth I’m actually going to order everything I need to do mine I have a 2015 escalade platinum with 40,400 miles.. could you let me know what the capacity is of each
Rear- looks like you used less then 2 qrts
Front diff- I saw u use less then 2qrt it looked like
Transfer case 1.6
Your help would be greatly appreciated
Why you didn't use amsoil?
Can I just remove the pan to drain the trans if I don’t have one of those extractor pumps?
I mean you can but it’s Going to make a mess.
Good video but I’m not sure I would use your trick for lowering the exhaust pipe. A Jack under pressure over your head while working is not the best idea and you really should consider using some eye protection when working with fluids my friend. Safety first should always be rule #1.
I have a 2015 Cadillac escalade 8l90 transmission should I get the trans hot enough for the thermal bypass to activate before checking the trans fluid level?
Please check the other video on my channel that details this there is a specific range I believe it’s 95f-113f for the 8l90 on the Escalade
4:50 min, whit kind oil ?
Why all that metal at only 50,000 miles ? That is not normal.
What are the lubes did you use??
Went to the Honda dealer and grabbed their oem lube for the transmission
nice
Gotta wash that motor though. It’s something I never do but I will start.
That tells you one thing Don't buy cadillac escalade. Thank you for this video.
