6L80 (V8 Trans) experiences after power flush?

[Daniel Souza]

Interesting post
Im about to open up the 6L80E trans on 2015 VF SS, which has done 152,000 km, need to look back to see if Holden has done a filter and ATF change.
This will be my first service on the car that Im doing myself.
Having just completed the service on VE/V6 sealed pan, Im ready to tackle it
Have purchased a deep pan, and fixed dip stick, so hoping to fit the dip stick and then measure the fluid height comparison between dipstick and level in pan
Not sure how much more ATF the deep pan will hold maybe 1.5 litres +
Im using Castrol Transmax Dex VI for VE and VF trans

Let us know what the ATF looks like. Hopefully not much glitter will be found.

152,000km without service? Scary but I do believe that is the recommended service interval from Holden.

As I said not sure if the trans filter or ATF had been replaced as holden was doing the service however will check the service manual this afternoon after I open up the VE V6 filter (after 52,000km) as interested to see what inside

Seems no trans filter change
Read the Manual for first time
Indicates ATF and filter should be changed at 150k
However on the last service which was conducted at 137k and the supposed next service of 165k there is NO mention of needing to change trans filter

Tricky

Anyways once I have the larger sump and filter final turns up we will hook into this next week

Then open filter up
