If so, you can simply drain from the drain plug and fill thru the dipstick tube with no problems

No dipstick, its sealed. I have not heard of anyone successfully filling via the special capped tube.

Hopefully the trans wan't the only place they put lubrication.


They stock KY by the barrel in the customer lounge along with free Starbucks.
