Procedure notes
This video shows you how to add transmission fluid to your 2003 Buick Century. Before contemplating a transmission fluid change and searching for the transmission fluid change cost on a Century, see if you need to add transmission fluid. How to add transmission fluid? First, make sure that your engine was running when you checked the fluid level. If the transmission fluid level on your Century is low, you need to add fluid through the dipstick tube or the check plug. Buick has developed sophisticated transmissions through the years and it is critical that you add the exact type of transmission fluid stipulated by your owner's manual (typically in the back of the manual in a section titled Fluid Capacities.) The manual will likely call for a specific type of Buick transmission fluid. It may state a type such as Dexron, Mercon, Allison, Type-F or CVT transmission fluid. If you are going to use a different brand of fluid such as Valvoline transmission fluid, be sure it matches the type specified in the owners manual. When adding transmission fluid to your Century, be sure to add it slowly as the transmission fluid capacity is reached quickly and it can be difficult to remove excess fluid if you overfill.
When to add transmission fluid to a Century? If you are having problems with the transmission in your Century, such as clunky shifting or hesitation, check the transmission fluid level first - it is amazing how many drivers pay thousands of dollars for transmission work when a half quart of transmission fluid would have fixed the problem.

本视频演示如何为您的 2003 别克 Century 添加变速箱油。 在考虑为 Century 进行变速箱油更换并查找变速箱油更换费用之前，先确认是否需要添加变速箱油。 如何添加变速箱油？ 首先，确保你在检查液体水平时发动机是处于运行状态的。 如果您的Century变速箱油液位偏低，需要通过油尺孔或检查螺塞添加变速箱油。 别克 在多年发展中研发了先进的变速箱，因此必须按照用户手册（通常在手册后部的「油液容量」一节中）规定的精确类型添加变速箱油。手册中很可能要求使用特定型号的 别克 变速箱油。 它可能标明一种类型，例如 Dexron、Mercon、Allison、Type-F 或 CVT 变速箱油。 如果要使用其他品牌的液体，例如 Valvoline 变速箱油，务必确保其类型与车主手册中规定的类型一致。 在为您的 Century 添加变速箱油时，请务必缓慢添加，因为变速箱油的容量很快就会达到，如果加得过多，很难将多余的油清除。
在什么情况下需要为 Century 添加变速箱油？ 如果你在你的 Century 车辆的变速箱上遇到换挡不顺畅或迟滞等问题，首先检查变速箱油液位——事实上，很多驾驶员为变速箱维修花费数千美元，而实际上只需加注半夸脱的变速箱油就能解决问题。
