Went well. Only my second go, the first was on my Taurus. The pan was easier to get at and had a slight tilt downwards. It was the first change here at 60K. Fluid looked fine, the magnet was pretty thick though. I cleaned'er all out, scrapped off all the old RTV gunk with a utility knife, made sure everything was dry and clean.. Applied the new RTV, spread it all out, waited 3 or 4 mins. and inserted the new o-ring and then filter. Tightened things up. No leaks. If I was to see any leakage, would it happen in a day or two? I just don't trust the RTV sealer. It was stuck on pretty good, had to pry it off.
Should I get a flush next time or just do same deal. I will get a plug next time as well.
Thanks again for all the advice and recommendations. Two weeks ago, I had never done an oil change, didn't even know where to check the trans. fluid. Now, through everyones help, I have changed both cars oil and tranny. Really wasn't too bad.
