Warning, if you refill the transmission with a long hose from the top, make sure the hose doesn't fit so tight in the opening that you won't see overflow pouring out from the fill hole. If you notice, I used a short smaller tube inserting into the end of the tube to enter the fill hole of the transmission.

1. Drove the car for approx. 15mins and jacked and leveled the car
2. Cracked open the fill check bolt
3. Drained the oil from the drain bolt until stream of oil stopped
4. Replaced the drain bolt and torqued
5. Removed the fill check bolt
6. Using a funnel with hose attached, inserted the tube into the check bolt hole and filled until transmission fluid (HCF-2 - purchased a 4 liter (4.23 quarts) bottle) poured out of the check bolt hole. Took approx. 3.5 liters (3.7 quarts).
7. Replaced the fill check bolt & loosely tighten
8. Start the car and cycle through all gear selections leaving them in the selection for at least 10 seconds (repeated this twice)
9. Removed the check bolt again and inserted the funnel and hose.
10. Proceeded to fill until the transmission oil again poured out of the check bolt hole - HOWEVER!! it took the rest of the oil in the bottle before it started pouring out. I measured the oil in the drip pan where the overflow and old oil was collected in and it measured 4.4 liters. Torqued up the check bolt and needed to drive the car - Keen to know what I have missed or should have done different.
