Can I syphon the transaxle fluid out the filler pipe ?

Jun 10, 2004 1 Replies

I have a 1991 Buick Regal 3.8 auto that needs some fresh transaxle fluid . I am told I can syphon out the fluid from the pan from the filler pipe. Can I ? I don't want to drop the pan and change the filter I just want to add some fresh fluid.


Should work, but you should expect that you will only change about 1/4 to

3/8 of the fluid in the trans as opposed to dropping the pan which would get you about 1/2.
