⚠️ CARPARTS.COM'S INFOS
- For this kind of operation, it is important to always start by unscrewing the filler hole plug. Because if it remains stuck after draining the fluid, the vehicle will be immobilized.
- Be careful on the last few turns, the fluid can squirt suddenly. You will have to anticipate this, making sure you have an fluid collector on hand.
