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!!

Just changed... 18556 miles. Takes full 3 quarts. If your pump is like mine, you'll need the 4th quart so you can get all 3 in.

Put in redine MT85 and it's still notchy when cold. Shifts a little better when warm.

The oil that came out was still super clean. Think I'll go to the recommended 30k on the next one.

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..

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?

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

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