ALWAYS make sure you can open the fill plug BEFORE draining ANYTHING on a car - drain plug - 10mm allen wrench - 29 to 30lbs torque - inside plastic -6mm allen wrench - about 90 ounces of fluid came out, he put it 3 quarts or 96 ounces - fill plug bolt - 25lbs torque just some notes to myself, or for anyone to use

That “internal” dipstick is for you to set the proper fluid level and a certain temperature range. Best practice is to put 1/4-1/2 extra fluid let it warm up to the temperature then remove the drain plug again and it will retain the correct fluid level with the tube installed.

@@mongo0179 ya they have the scan tool that lets them know the proper temp. of the trans fluid to change it. Theoretically what you could do assuming that the amount of fluid is correct in trans to begin with is completely drain the fluid (get 2 identical clear buckets so you can see the level.) let the hot trans fluid in the bucket sit over night and cool (also have the new trans fluid in the same place.) Now both fluids with be at equal temps, pour new trans fluid into other bucket , match the levels and bingo you have the correct amount of trans fluid to add to the trans. Time consuming but do able.

The purpose of the plastic tube in the tranny drain is a level check, if fluid comes out when you first remove the plug at a steady to slow drip then it is full. If too much flows out or nothing drips out then it is overfilled or low respectively.
