Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

17 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 3Original post

One thing to add to the steps. Fill until it starts to overflow (not as bad as it sounds) and then replace fill plug. Very easy DIY. Just make sure you have something that dispenses the fluid under pressure or have some sort of contraption to make that happen. **disclaimer.....this is a DIY that is best done on a lift. No way in hell would I be under the car at this location with just jack stands**

POST 4Original post

if you fill till it comes out (the way I always do) make sure the car is fairly level - note - fairly level one way to do this is to jack only the drivers side and fill er up... then lower the car with a pan under it and just let a little new oil pour out... that's about the right amount (if you have a lift like some people - this wierd way of doing things is not needed)

POST 5Original post

Oh and as Dell says... its "under there" and that damn plug is TIGHT!!! you may need a cheated bar to break it free if its not been done before

Thought it would be a good winter project

POST 11Original post

I found that snaking a hose through the engine compartment is easiest. One end into the trans, and on the other end attach a funnel.

POST 13Original post

fancy pumps cost ~ $5 - but are hard to pump in limited space - good idea on the long funnel
