😬 The computer shows my mpg as much higher than the EPA figures. I wonder if I should take 3 or 5 off...

When you do that, what is the difference between the manual calculation and computer mpg? I assume the true value is lower?

Aisin FZ from RockAuto will arrive on Wednesday. They are 10% off right now. 4 quarts, taxes, plus UPS at $11 is $45 total. I recall one member here mentioning a $985 quote for the filter job. I probably have spent that much already on the lift rentals ($220+$180+150) and 4 rounds of D/F (3...

The stock horn is secured to a bracket by only one short screw. With a long Philips screw driver, you can loosen it from the grill. I had to use an extension and 10mm socket. Once loose, the screw will fall and slide out onto the ground. The horn will dangle behind the grill, hanging by the...

I tried to replace the horn today but failed. I wasn't able to remove the front bumper so I reached in from the grill slats and top trim. After getting the stock horn out, I realized that I need a few more components to install the Hella Horns. After putting the stock horn back, it wouldn't...

I should have cleaned the plastic cover after resealing the pan. The upper right corner is roughly where the pan is. The wet spot towards the bottom is where I spilled some fluid when topping off on Saturday. There's nothing wet all around the pan and at the seam. However, because I didn't...

Just want to add that RTV removal is manageable with the right tools. A plastic scraper/blade will remove the thick residues, mostly on the pan, and a piece of steel wool will scrub off the base layer pretty easily. Checking the time stamp on my pics, it took less than two hours to get the...

Here is my report on 153K miles. :oops: Replaced the filter last Monday so it is mostly Aisin FZ at this point. Will send another sample in this week.

Thank you! I did 85 inch-pounds at the time. I am starting to understand why OEM is RTV, it holds/sticks the pan to the transmission housing, whereas a gasket is more like a cushion. Will have to redo this if I find out tomorrow that it's leaking. Thank you and your collaborators for all the...

Quick question about taking the pan bolts off for the first time, are they supposed to be on tight like torqued-tight? When I did mine last Monday, all the pan bolts came loose easily. I had expected to "crack" them loose first. The two bolts securing the filter were on tighter than the pan...

After getting this done last Monday, I didn't have to drive very far for work during the week, only up to 45 minutes each way. The ATF temp was up to the 202. Yesterday during my 150-mile trip down south, the temp was over 200 and went as high as 212. It was 90+ outside and over a section of a...

The top side of the media looks different from the bottom side. I don't know what to call those, they remind me of woven straw mats as summer bedding. This media/filter is from 153K miles of original fluid and 6K miles of new fluids. If there wasn't a concern about leak from the pan seams, a...

Thank you for your explanation! I found a clip and caught a glimpse of the internals that shows a component that is connected to the large port. Are the threads on the top side of the media meant to further block off containments from the bottom?
