Thanks..
One last question..I see in my FSM that it takes 1.9 U.S. quarts for a oil change..The fill/drain plugs look parallel to the groun
I'm going to ask a stupid question..How to get the oil from the jug to the filler plug ??
Long hose and a funnel ? Turkey Baster ? Something else?
Thanks, loosen the 2 bolts found on the side of the transmission as illistrated

and refill it using a long hose and funnel pour in just under 2 bottles of10w30 synthetic motor oil wont quite take 2 bottles but keep pouring it in until you see it draining out put back the top bolt tighten it up and for just under $20.00 your done! with the rest of the $$ you saved take your buddy out for a drink =D
