ATF pan drain plug

[bamlin54]

Did not see this in the DIY thread but can someone tell me if the 2008 has a transmission pan drain plug and if so does anyone know how many quarts is involved in a pan drain and fill?

[nov0798]

Automatic Transmission, U151E Initial Fill..........3.7 quarts
Automatic Transmission, U151F Initial Fill..........3.7 quarts
Automatic Transmission, Total Fill
5 speed U151E..........9.3 quarts
5 speed U151F..........9.6 quarts
Yes it has a drain plug!

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the information. Would it be possible to post a picture or a description of the plug location? Also do you refill through the transmission dip stick tube?

If your familiar with the oil filter location, it's adjacent to the filter towards the drivers side, there is a hole cut out in the protective under panel to access the bolt. You add fluid through the dipstick tube, make sure you use the correct atf.

If anyone now or in the future has photos of the plug, etc., they'd like to post I'll be happy to link this thread into the DIY sticky for future reference. Food for thought.
