Changed transmission fluid on an angle
Changed transmission fluid on an angle
Hello,
I recently changed my manual transmission fluid on a `99 Civic LX and I realize now I should have done it on a flat surface.
Instead, I pulled it up on car ramps and drained and refilled with 2qts of transmission fluid.
I know it would have drained better on a level surface, but my main concern is whether I should pick up another bottle of transmission fluid and top it off again on a level surface.
Could the level be that far off?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Re: Changed transmission fluid on an angle
Depending on how high the front end was, it might make quite a difference.
I'd at least check it with the car nice and level and see how close the fluid level is to the hole. Then decide.
