Where is the transmission dipstick on a 1998 Chevy Blazer?

The 1998 Chevy Blazer, depending on the transmission type, may not have a transmission dipstick. Many vehicles of that era, especially those with automatic transmissions, moved away from the easily accessible dipstick.

To find out if yours has one and where it is located:

1. Check your owner's manual: This is the definitive source. It will tell you the transmission type (e.g., 4L60E, 700R4) and if it has a dipstick, and its location.

2. Look around the engine compartment: If there is a dipstick, it's usually located near the engine, often on the passenger side. Look for a long, thin dipstick with markings. However, don't rely solely on this visual check as many automatic transmissions don't have one.

3. Check near the transmission: If you can't find it in the engine bay, carefully look around the transmission itself. Some are located on the side of the transmission.

If you can't find a dipstick: Your 1998 Chevy Blazer likely has a sealed transmission that doesn't require dipstick checks. Transmission fluid level and condition are checked by a mechanic using specialized equipment. Attempting to check the fluid level without the proper tools can be difficult and could cause damage.
