The OCD took over I took out 1/4 quart and was to close to the bottom dot than I wanted. Put back about half and I’m between top and bottom. Will definitely be adding and checking for my next drain and fill rather than pouring it all in.

Found one at my local harbor freight hopefully it’s long enough. How many miles are you doing between intervals?

If you were to use a siphon how much would you take out? I guess trial and error is the only way as I have no way of knowing how over I am.

Oil? This is ATF. Looks like someone edited my title. I changed it.

Weird. The variations are wild.

I was thinking the same can never be to sure though. I have seen from 2.6 all the way to 4 quarts. I’m not sure what that’s about. Mine is the fwd. I don’t know if there are different amounts for the different models or if each drain causes a different amount of fluid to come out. I had the...

No sample send off just for kicks?

Car wasn’t driven over the weekend. Drove it yesterday to work 30 min both way. Checked it cold this morning and no movement on coolant tank or oil. Looks promising my kit for a sample should be here today. Should I grab the sample on a cold motor or after I have ran the car and let it cool down?

Never been changed. I did run the heater to help get rid of any air is that what you are referring to?

My plan exactly.

I only added coolant because it was slightly below the min line cold and rose slightly above it when warm. I wanted to bring it to the max mark which I did yesterday and now as you see it’s already underneath it. Which I’m going to chalk up to it settling?

Agreed. Thank you

Should I top off my coolant again? And bring it back to the max line now that it’s leveled out or no
