I bought a $6 oil/fluid pump and we seriously spent like one hour trying to get that damn thing to work. It was a peice of shit. We finally gave up with that piece of shit and went with the funnel and tube and got all the oil in in like 10 minutes. rolleyes

So my advice to those wanted to change their oil: don't waste money on a damn oil pump, just pour the oil in the funnel and let the oil go through the tube into the car.

Also, the old oil smelt like shit. puke


Overall, shifting is much, much smoother. Tranny oil change is a must! Makes it feel brand new. thumbsup

Mine took two full bottles and just a little bit of the third bottle, so maybe about 2.1-2.3 quarts.

How many miles does your car have? I think I need to replace mine too. I have 19,000 miles on my car.

Well mine has 60k and I bought it at 40k. I don't even know if the previous owner of the car ever changed it.

When I rev my car at a complete stop you can smell like burn rubber. I think it need a oil change. My shifting is also terrible.
