Remove ...clean..replace the mesh filter and "blow" through the in/out pipes to the rad cooler whilst you are under there.

I think you will need around 5 liters.

Hi Tomo,

If you give Alacrity a shout he should be able to supply you with a gasker at a resonable price.

Cheers.

dexron 3 is correct, but oil specs have moved on a mile in 15 years.
i use millermatic atf DM, good stuff but expensive, but i will never need to do it again,(unless i get the mileage muz has =D> =D> ).
