So its time i change my tranny fluid .....but i don't know how :roll:
i mean i don't know the correct way if there is...
in the service manual they talk bout two bolts the fill and drain..
when i looked at my car those two bolts are pretty hard to reach the only way is to put it on a ramp..i don't have a ramp
another issue i have is what do u use to fill the oil in? a funnel and tube?

any info on how you guys do your tranny fluid change will be greatly appreciated :thumb:

this was first time since i bought car...but when you use 10w40 you should change it at 40.000 km
