Hey Calgarians

I was just wondering if any of you know of a reputable place to change out transmission oil in our city (not dealership --> they wanted an insane amount). I was thinking of doing it myself but I don't have the equipment (jack stands, pump, etc) and don't have that much room in the garage. Alternatively, if any of you have access to equipment and/or can do it for me that'll be great! Thanks

 

Hey BlueFrenzy,
So did you get your tranny fluids changed yet? How much did the dealer want anyways?

 

For the cost of getting it done you can buy a jack and stands and do it yourself.

I would rather do the labor myself and know it was done right.

Also, you DO NOT need a pump. You just need a 3/8" tube from the engine bay to the tranny hole and use a funnel.

 

I was thinking of doing my own as well. But seeing as my warranty will be up this November, I thought I'd just let the dealer do it until my warranty runs out since it's part of the 48k maintenance which I'm due for.

I do really want to try Redline fluids...I've been thinking of buying the fluids, and asking the dealer put them in instead of the OEM fluids. But I'm kinda scared of this, because I won't really know if they did put it in.

I will definitely be doing it myself after my warranty runs up though.

 

i think the dealership will charge u around 60-70. i got it done by dealership at 40k, but already forgot how much they charged me exactly.

 

Hey Little RX8. I'm lazy so I haven't gotten around to doing it yet. The dealership wanted about 70 for labor not include cost of transmission fluid.

Thanks for the tip Turborx8 ... I seem to remember that's what GordBRG did when he changed his. How did you do the differential? Same thing but just through the wheel wells?

I see in your sig that you have the Mazsport Ignition ... how's it feel?

 

I have not replaced my diff fluid yet but you are correct on the procedure.

I don't have a clue if the ignition solution has made a difference because my car is still not running perfectly since I replaced my interceptor-x with Cobb accessport.

Once I install the Mazsport GReddy CAI I expect all my issues to be over.
