Right in the middle of this pic, you can see the square. I know its not in the car but thats the side that faces the rad. You should beable to picture it in the car.

Just to make sure, is it circled correctly in the picture?

 

[Ishodu]

Yep thats it!

How often should you change this fluid

How often should you change this fluid

The owners manually doesn't even call for a MTX tranny fluid change. But I wouldn't do that. Maybe every 20k would be a good idea and will keep it really fresh. Everyone will have a different opinion on this though.

Very true, everybody will differ in opinion on how long to wait before changing it out. I check mine every oil change for both fluid level and fluid quality. Generally speaking I change it out every 2nd to 3rd oil change, but that's just me. I try to do oil changes every 2500-3000 miles.

My 95 MTX did not come with an owner's manual. Will someone please tell me how to check the level. Thanks

 

[Ishodu]

Just make sure the fluid is up to that plug. Car must be on a level surface also.
