![]() Thanks for the video by the way, I actually watched it before doing this to make sure I was doing everything right, I didn't know you were the same person from the forum! I would probably not use the measuring bucket directly next time myself and instead transfer to it after using a larger drain pan to prevent spillage on the floor. I wish the shroud was less of a pain to remove (aka not there at all) but c'est la vie. The issue isn't it being hard, it just makes less of a mess on the ground and my hands (even with gloves), and don't need to buy more crush washers, and more likely to actually do it in general. ![]() Yeah, I like the fumoto so I can maybe slap in a new 2.64 quarts every other oil change or so, and then additionally drop the pan, do filters and clean magnets every 60k maybe. And you would theoretically be at the correct level. Then close it and according to the service manual you can put 2.64 quarts in as mentioned at about 5:25 on the youtube video linked above. In theory if you are very scarred that you may have over/under filled it, you could put the car on a hoist or very level floor and open the drain plug. In my opinion i wouldn't bother with a fumoto valve for something you change this infrequently on a bolt this easy to access but you do you. But using the pan drain plug would be more inconsistent as it depends on the vehicles angle(how its jacked up) and the angle of the ground(most garage floors slope toward a drain). I imagine dropping the pan should give everyone a consistent amount of fluid out. There is a very exact position on the dipstick the level should be at dependent on the temperature as shown in the youtube video at 17minutes 14 seconds.Īlso mentioned in that video is the fact that i got approx 4.35L out and tried to put exactly that amount back in. Īlso remember that as shown in the video being in the H or C range is not good enough, its not like an oil dipstick. These instructions are available in my youtube video here. Its still very hard if not practically impossible to read. Remember even if you somehow followed the exact steps to read the dipstick level, which requires "special" equipment to read the cvt fluid temperature. The most common recommendation is just to measure the exact amount you get out and put that back in. Gasket and filter Aliexpress under $20 Similar listing also from Isance Īll in all not bad for under $45 and a couple hours figuring it out since I have never worked on a transmission Everything seems to be shifting fine no noticeable difference yet.Ĭastrol TRANSMAX CVT Automatic Transmission Mitsubishi J4 compatible Fluid $4.04 A quart from Walmart when it was on sale: here is the current best price I could find Īuxiliary filter Aliexpress under $5 if I remember (bought these at least a year back) I ordered a Fumoto valve for the transmission so I can start at least putting some new fluid in it more frequently. The whole stick is coated with *some* transmission fluid but nothing approaching a distinct line like the oil dipstick. I have tried to verify the fluid level is good now with the dipstick but as others have posted I am having an incredibly hard time reading the dipstick. Some metal was observed near both magnets but nothing too insane. Around 4.25ish quarts came out, and the fluid was dark black. So a bit over 60k miles today I did my first transmission fluid drop pan change and replaced both filters while at it.
