That's what i was thinking, buy a fourth for just in case

Yes the car was level. I guess to be on the safe side I bought another bottle, now I won't be thinking about it..

Thanks!!:tiphat:

4 bottles is what i would buy. I put in 200ml of the 4th bottle. I will use the rest of it on the next oil change.. I think the tranny feels better too by the way..

Good write up, thanks.

i know this is for 6mt, incase I already missed it, any write ups for the 7AT, links anyone? Thanks.

Good write up but im not the sharpest tool in the shed need pics...lol

Did this on Saturday. Got overflow right at the end of the 3rd bottle. Super simple, no pics necessary.

I actually got overflow on the fourth quart, a little less than 1/3 of it.

Is it much different to change the 7at oil?

exactly what I want to know...anyone??

It is quite a bit more complicated for the 7AT. The process is described in the service manual. Because the torque converter retains a considerable amount of fluid they recommend draining the fluid twice, with a expendable refill in-between and a run cycle. Also getting the correct fluid level after the refill can be a bit tricky. It's certainly do-able just a bit fiddly.

If you are interested in doing it download the service manual.

Can the transmission fluid change be done by driving up on Rhino ramps ? Enough clearance to work under the car that way ? Or is it necessary/better to jack it up, and place jackstands to keep the car level ? The ramps & jack I have, the stands I would need to buy.
Thanks

The car must be level for proper fill, so yes jack stands are the best bet.

Whatever you do don't drive up onto ramps and then try to jack the car or you will probably run yourself over :)

thanks dude, I will look into this. :tiphat:

Do our transmissions have a filter that we have to change?
