Description
The transmission oil tube and dipstick assembly is a component of an automatic transmission that allows you to measure the level and condition of the transmission fluid.
The tube is a long, thin metal tube that is inserted into the transmission pan. The dipstick is a metal rod that is inserted into the tube. The dipstick has markings on it that indicate the full and low fluid levels.
To check the transmission fluid level, you will need to remove the dipstick, wipe it clean with a rag, and then reinsert it fully into the tube. Then, remove the dipstick again and check the level of the fluid on the dipstick. The fluid level should be between the full and low marks on the dipstick.
If the fluid level is low, you will need to add fluid until the level reaches the full mark. Be careful not to overfill the transmission, as this can damage the transmission.
The transmission fluid is a red or brown fluid that helps to lubricate the transmission components and keep them cool. The fluid also helps to transmit power from the engine to the wheels.
