That's cool. Did you notice any changes with shifting after it was added? I know you said it had always been smooth.

Understood. Was the level good when you checked and did you add any Lubegard?

Hello it's been a month, how are things going with your transmission? 🙂

Are you able to read the ATF temp when you check the level? Car should be running and temp is at 122F in order for the reading on the dipstick to be valid. Some folks use a infrared-thermal device, others (me) use OBDII reader/app. Let's try the resetting procedure first. I know someone here...

Got it! If there is no leak that you can see and that the fluid level is right, try this first to see if it helps: Scroll through the comment section and you will find written instructions that help you follow along. Also, in the video there is one step where what was said did not match what...

I did it also also because there was a leak at one corner of the pan. It is worth checking around the pan to make sure that there is no leak. If you are planning to use a Lucas product that is like Lubegard, is it because shifting feels off somehow? There are different steps that one can take...

Got it! If this can be done safely at home with minimal mess and cost, folks would be more inclined to do it sooner rather than later. 🙂

Can you also test swapping out the room fuse just for fun? 😅 There should be a spare fuse in the box.

😂 But I won't have to get anything out for at least another 30K miles (1.5 years). When is your ATF due for a refresh?

This is the hand pump that I use for ATF refill. The straight suction pipe goes into the one quart container. The tip (and only the tip) of the bendy discharge hose fits in the dipstick hole and I have to hold it in place. The hose opening is shown to be of 0.47 inch diameter. To get as much...

That would work if I have a trusted shop/mechanic. Much of what I do is out of necessity. 🥹 I do think pumping is a viable alternative at a lower cost. Instead of doing three rounds of drain & fill, do pump & fill. A hose with the right diameter and length (2+ ft) can enter the dipstick opening...

When my CX-3 developed electrical problems (different from yours) this May, I looked up the codes and searched broadly for anything that is remotely relevant. One thing that came up was the ROOM fuse for a different model and set of symptoms. I swapped it out and the codes went away. I also...

The Car Scanner Pro app is $5 off Google Play store. One retired phone now serves as the OBDii display device. The BT dongle (Viecar) is good enough to show a lot of info, but not enough for serious code reading.

I read here that one member got 6+ quarts out after letting it drain over night. The only other transmissions I had changed the fluid for are both manual and straight-forward drain/fill with no filter involved. ATF is a lot more complicated. 🧐 Here are pics of fresh fluid in blue and yellow...
