Title: How much transmission fluid should i expect
Post by: Brenthecable on January 05, 2024, 09:43:56

I'm having issues with the transmission over-revving so thought i'd do a simple wet change of transmisdion fluid. When i look at you tube people serm to drain about 3+litres of fluid. I'm only getting 0.5 litres. How much should i expect? Could it simply be my fluid level is low
Thanks

We did my dad's 2008 FD, which just so happens to be an automatic also. We drained about 2.5 litres of fluid the first time (it ran really slowly for ages), refilled the same amount, and due to the poor condition of the fluid, we did it again - this time only 2 liters came out (we weren't very patient the second time around!).
