I dont want to sound sceptical, but how do you really know that they drained and filled it?

I say this as my cousin used to be a mech, they are timed on their work. Most of the time they check and top off and state they drained and filled.

Well I physically watched them drain it and go through the motions of refilling it. Took like a hour+ to do.

I got the stillen because I intend on further upgrading the Z, so I wanted the added transmission cooling.
