Getting info on any project is a daunting task. So here are my notes.
Tech Notes
Handy Stuff
Oil filter replacement - Oil cap socket size 24MM / Torque for reinstall - 216 inch/pounds. Removing
the air duct helps get to the plastic filter cap. The clamp bolts are 8MM. Make sure the new o-ring
is in the correct groove!
Oil Change - The drain plug is 13MM. This engine uses 6 quarts of 5W20. Always check the level after startup and run a bit.
Transmission Oil Dipstick - Since the TnC does not have a dedicated trans dip stick the easy hack is
to use the oil diptick with two new marks. Measuring from the end of the dip stick, one at 10MM and
another at 40MM. Now you have the trans cold and hot levels.You no longer need a special tool!
