What, really????

Yes really? look for it. lol

Huh. Well, I did whe nI first bought the car and didn't immediately see it, so you must be correct.

So... how do you know if it's burnt or low?

And where do you fill it up?

You need to keep the scheduled maint, and at the required milage the dealer will service it.

That I can't check it myself isn't cool... just that someone forewarned me. I've never owned a car where you can't check all the basic fluids yourself... :ugh2:

When I didn't immediately see it, I just figured I'd locate it later -- little did I know it wasn't there to be located :rolleyes:

Reminds me of newer BMWs....no oil dipstick.

Yes, My last car was a 05 BMW 530 and it had no way to check the trans also.

Well, considering how infrequently one generally needs to change the fluid, I guess it's not too big a deal.

Unless you do a lot of "torque-brake" launches, I suppose...

You'll find in a drive by wire throttle system - interlocked to the brake system for safety - that you not be doing too many brake-torque launches...

Really? You can't do it? Not even until the flash-stall? :shakes head:

I haven't tried yet -- was able to easily break loose the tires with the VDC off just mashing the gas pedal.
