RE: auto tranny fluid
I don't get it. That's the whole point of the Internet. Just living up to your title?

RE: auto tranny fluid
This happens on every board I've been on.
A little devil's advocate here...but what would be the appropriate action for adding to such a discussion?
If they would have started a new thread someone would complain about it being discussed before and not using the search button.
Aslong as something is added to the discussion, I don't have an issue and think that it's better to have it all in one thread versus 20 threads.
Personal preference I guess

RE: auto tranny fluid
I've seen a few threads where Sebba has posted the same comment about bringing up an old thread (as i've done here
It's not like the forum is mad alive with conversation!! I see the same on a lot of forums. Most people don't mind it, but there are a few with a holier than thou attitude who comment "good job, you found an old thread", instead of expressing their opinion in a constructive and informative manner. But they don't bother me, so don't let them bother you. Besides, when these people respond to the thread aren't they bumping the "old" thread back to the top? Yes, but for whatever reason, that's fine with them. Go figure!

Which hose needs to be disconnected?
Great guide by the way. I'm new to the forum and I am trying to change my trans fluid. I've already bought 9 qts of atf sp III. I saw 2 hoses going into the bottom of the radiator. But then I saw 2 more hoses going into a small oil cooler? It was right below the battery on my 04 outlander. Do you have any pictures. How do I know which hose to disconnect? I'd greatly appreciate any help you offer. thanks.
Here are the instructions for the fluid change. I checked and there are definitely two different transmission models. I can't seem to find which number is FWD and which one is AWD. Will check some more.
TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE M1231021500046
If you have an transmission fluid changer, use this changer to
replace the transmission fluid. If you do not have an transmis-
sion fluid changer, replace the transmission fluid by the follow-
ing procedure.
1. Disconnect the hose shown in the illustration which
connects the transaxle and the oil cooler (inside the
radiator). Place a container under the hose to collect the
discharge.
CAUTION
The engine should be stopped within one minute after it is
started. If all the transmission fluid has drained out before
then, the engine should be stopped at that point.
2. Start the engine and let the transmission fluid drain out.
(Running conditions: "N" range with engine idling)
Approximately 3.5 dm3 (3.7 quarts) of transmission
fluid should be removed.
3. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the transaxle case
to drain the transmission fluid.
Approximately 2.0 dm3 (2.1 quarts) of transmission
fluid should be removed.
4. Install the drain plug with a new gasket, and tighten it to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque: 32 ± 2 N⋅m (24 ± 1 ft-lb)
CAUTION
Stop pouring if the full volume of transmission fluid cannot
be added.
5. Add new transmission fluid (DIAMOND ATF SP III) through
the oil filter tube.
Approximately 5.5 dm3 (5.8 quarts) of transmission
fluid should be added.
6. Repeat the procedure in Step 2. (to pump out the rest of the
contaminated transmission fluid)
7. Add new transmission fluid (DIAMOND ATF SP III) through
the oil filter tube.
Approximately 3.5 dm3 (3.7 quarts) of transmission
fluid should be added.
NOTE: Check for contamination or a burnt odor. If the trans-
mission fluid is still contaminated or burnt, repeat Steps 6
and 7 before proceeding to Step 8.
