The fill plug is on the top under your Battery (For RA)


The first image in the first post shows this location.

I just changed mine today. There was about 7L and the filter was nasty dirty. I also installed the RRE Tranny Kit. There is a FM cooler and upgraded stock location cooler. I put in a little over 8L to account for the larger cooler, additional cooler, and lines.

Wow, made such a difference. My shifts were starting to shift pretty hard. It is sooooo much smoother now.

While swapping my brakes yesterday I noticed my SST filter area is STILL leaking at 12k, even after my filter and oil change at 6k. All the drivers side panels are soaked in oil again.

Ugh. I hate having to go to the dealer but might have to now...

Tighten all the Torque screws maybe?
Maybe you can post a pic?

That pump is pretty strong.
When I changed mine I forgot to replace the filter & when I started the car after SST fluid change I lost about 2L of fluid just poured out like no tomorrow.
I cried about the liquid gold & got over it afew smokes.
