Thanks for the video. I was wondering if I could get away with the fluid change without having to keep pumping the fluid and monitoring the temp by changing the fluid when the car is completely cold? In that case, I would just measure the cold amount of fluid I drained and add the same amount through the fill plug. One thing I'm not so sure about is if I would be able to fill all the fluid back through the fill plug without having it get overfilled? If that happens would tilting the car do the trick? Thanks again for your great videos!
I'd say having the vehicle warm would be enough without checking exact temperature. If you want to do it cold and filling back exact the same amount, that would work because even if you overfill the drain pan that way, you can quickly close the drain bolt. Main issue I have with this method is if your transmission has a small leak somewhere, you won't get correct capacity. To me personally, doing the fill while vehicle was running was very easy and easier than measuring old fluid.
excellent video, surely will save Do it your self handyman some bucks, would be so kind to provide the website where you purchase the ramp, the pump and the adapter kit , thanks a bunch
just to confirm, fill plug is letting out so much oil even though that's how your check level. is this because engine is off when opening the first time vs running when you set the final level.
Yeah exactly. I guess it all depends what transmission is doing at the time engine is off. And the fill procedure is straight from original service manual.
It goes by how many you drain if you want to count it like that, but if your transmission was leaking or burning oil you won’t get accurate amount. You better of using technique shown in the video.
I have just hit 200,000 on my 2009 G37 and at times it does skip just alittle , should I just top off the Transmission fluid, and keep it going? I know changing it would be bad for the transmission, so maybe a top off would help?? Thank You
Thank you , yeah, I def will not do the vacuuming of the fluid , I’ll check the fluid and see if it needs a top off and go from there . The special fill tool , where can I get that ?
Don't go by what you see in the video. It all depends on driving behavior and gear placement etc. just see how much drains out and then still do proper fill method.
