Glad there was no structural damage to the frame!!!

My guess is that your vehicle was actually totaled because of the structural damage but neither the body shop or the insurance company will tell you that. Where you will really see the hit is if you take it to trade it in on another car - that’s where your diminished value will show up on...

Yep, pre-2025 is a different engine. Apparently smaller crankcase.

I put in the 6 quarts and then used a measuring cup to measure out another 2-3 ounces.

Chevron definitely gives me more mpg over Valero.

Thanks! Good to know! 👍

Good point and funny you mentioned that as I just retorqued all of mine and they were all slightly under spec. 😱

Yes, that was my first thought too is maybe the fluids got reversed. For some reason they’re different.

And you do this with the engine running and the transmission in Park?

Ah, yes, that would be the question - good point!

I think it may be closer to 2/3. I believe the total capacity is around 6 quarts so you drain 4 1/2 quarts that means there’s a quart and a half in the torque converter. So probably closer to 2/3.

Good to know. I was concerned that maybe you wouldn’t be able to get the tube in far enough because it might hit some components.

Anyone got a source for these?

I think he’s asking about refilling it from the leveling plug hole. Instead of top side.

I thought the same thing. I’m guessing that it probably just takes a lot longer to have to pump out 5 quarts from the bottles. ?
