Rule #1 - Make certain that you can get the fill plug out before you drain the oil.

@ Wally: Duly noted, thanks!

@ Terry: Good to know as I read a lot of people were also happy with royal p.

So, is the process really as simple as described in my previous post? Oh, and I'm going to get a transfer pump ($15 at Princess Auto--Canadian version of Harbor Freight).

Thanks, guys. So, I can use all Redline NS...... How about the process of changing the trans fluild. Is it really as easy as drain from the two drainholes and then fill up to the add hole and you're done?

Well....since making this post in 2009 I've stopped using Royal Purple in favor of Redline.

Pretty much, I found it was easier to add a short piece of rubber tube to the end of the oil bottle and let the tube stick into the tranny. This allowed the jug to be straight up and down under the car since I didn't have a pump. Once I had the oil jug in the right spot and the hose in the tranny and starting to flow I would reach up with a knife and make a slit or two into the bottom of the oil jug. This lets air into the bottle and lets it flow much faster. Once I had the required amount back in I put the plug back and called it done.

Excellent, thank you for confirming the procedure. Ordered my Redline this AM.
