first DIY oil change. you guys had me nervous about the tranny juice!

hahahhaha. i dont know how many times i double checked myself to insure that i dont dump the tranny oil.

the previous owner even went to the trouble to hit the oil pan/plug with a spray of orange paint.

other than the trepidation, the thing was easy! easiest DIY oil vehicle ever..
quick aircleaner swap..and i am good.

10 days in the desert camping takes a toll. crazy..there were animal footprints all over my motor and surrounding area...lucky nothing chewed a wire.

 

you still sure it was the oil?could it have been the diff?

 

Dude I did mine for the first time today. I have no idea how you'd mistake the trans drain. If you've ever seen an engine bolted to a transmission it's pretty obvious that the pan under the transmission is the transmission drain. However, there's people that've never seen that type thing before, so I guess that's what happens. It's the easiest vehicle I've ever changed the oil on. Other than waiting 20-30 minutes for the oil to drain, it probably took 15 minutes. It's awesome. I'm doing my own from here on.

 

thats messed up!! Dont get him nervous

 

Just don't drain the flux out of the flux capacitor. 88 mph will never been the same.

 

honestly, it is more of a OCD issue, more than anything.

i can rebuild a Porsche motor, but reading that tranny mixup, i laughed...till i got there myself..hardeeharhar...
