I always open up the fill plug first, so air can rush in while the oil is rushing out.

I've read that it's an easy 10 minute DYI project and to make sure you loosen the inlet screw before to take off the outlet plug, but no where can I find where these plugs are located or specific directions on how to change the oil?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As the title asks, I need to change my transmission oil when I get my car back from the body shop. I've done a search on this site as well as checked out YouTube and I can't seem to find direction on how to change transmissn oil. I've read that it's an easy 10 minute DYI project and to make sure you loosen the inlet screw before to take off the outlet plug, but no where can I find where these plugs are located or specific directions on how to change the oil? My car shifts hard in the cold and I'm going to change the oil in the trans to Motul 300. Can anyone explain the process? Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

I did the switch to Motul 300 and am very pleased with the results I'm sure someone will jump in and give the step by step instructions

POST 3Original post

I assume you have a 6-speed... There should be a pretty easily identifiable "drain" plug at the lowest point of the transmission, and another identical looking plug about 1/2 way up. The upper one is the fill, and the lower one is the drain. I always open up the fill plug first, so air can rush in while the oil is rushing out. A google search yielded this page: http://p-car.com/996/diy/transmissionfluid/

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just did the google search and found specific instructions with pictures. Thanks!
