noob on Saga BLM wanna ask something:
I want to DIY the ATF replacement for my wife's BLM, so here are some questions: (1) How much ATF needed? (2) Where is the drain plug for the gearbox (I haven't take a look at the underside of the car - yet) (3) Where to pour in the new ATF? Is it through the ATF dipstick hole? (4) How to properly check the ATF level?
regards, Neotoxin

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Aug 28 2012, 04:32 PM) 1) IINM ~3liters. however thats based on generic proton gear boxes, may be different for BLM 2) should be at the GB oil sump  3) yes, and you will need a extended funnel, one with a long tube, as you typically can't fit the funnel at the GB opening 4) you need 2 person, 1 more to engage the gear while engine on etc, then check for it. there's also hot/cold levels where i am not versed at that yet. i typically leave it up to my mechanic  Thank you for your reply. For no. (3) I think there's enough space to put the funnel without extension tube (actually I have this custom-made extended funnel made from mineral water bottle and flexible pipe for changing GB oil of my Wira  ). I need to research more on no. 4... thank you

Thanks for all replies.. I did my ATF change last week. To sum it up 1) Drain screw size is 24mm. Need a socket wrench for this (I was using the ratcheting type)
2) The drain screw is located at inconvenience place - just above the lower arm on the left side (@MR_alien did mention about this). Without proper guttering, the old ATF will spill all over the place.
I improvised a plastic bottle as a gutter
3) Almost 5 litres (5 bottles) of SPIII ATF needed for replacement (mentioned by @erictioh). 4.5 bottles of ATF just barely above the HOT mark at 'N'. Refilling ATF is easy - just need to put funnel and pour the ATF in (no need extended funnel)
