DESCRIPTION:

It's really not that different from a typical engine oil drain and fill.

Key items include:

1) Making sure vehicle is level during initial fluid drain
2) Making sure engine and transmission are hot before checking the fluid level AFTER adding new fluid
3) Making sure the engine is RUNNING BEFORE you check the fluid level at the leveling port- if it's off, you'll have more fluid pour out than you want !
