Re: Overfilling oil while away due to Gustav
Well, i'm still evacuated and set for returning home tomorrow though I don't want to go yet cause we are still without many services including electricity at home.
Anyway i thought I'd update ya'll on this oil thing and cite the exact reason I prefer to have a trusted shop or do all my work myself. I brought the van back today to have the .5 qt of engine oil drained and guess what they did? They instead drained .5 qt of transmission oil. I noticed it immediately when driving around town out here..... again these trannies are extremely sensitive. Went to check the tranny fluid and sure enough it was exactly .5 qt low. I don't know what kind of crack the guy was smoking, but he either didn't know the tranny pan from the oil pan or was just trying to give me more trouble. I didn't drive far before topping it off myself and I'm gonna leave the engine oil alone till I can get home to drain it myself too.
