So I'm not the youngest, but may be the dumbest.

I have read on here that a few other people have done the same stupid thing as I have, but I don't think to the same degree. I mistook the tranny pan as the oil pan and drained all my atf out for the most part. So my question is... do I need to go see a SW or can I fill it back up myself with this so called sealed tranny?

The "sealed" tranny has a fill hole on the side and a drain hole on the bottom....yes you can fill it...but check you manual for the right fluid and where the fill hole is...it's kinda midway up on the side of the tranny...the manual shows a great picture....good luck ...Kurt

So... I went to work today, borrowed a very simple hand pump from one of the techs and proceeded to pump the same atf back in the same pug. Running happy and clean (on the inside) YAY!

I've always been big on doing things myself, but as long as there is a Hooters next to my dealer...I'll never do anything myself ever again.

yes it does have some world standard atf. also you can only get it at the dealership in a gallon jug but all I did was take what had drained stick it in a clean jug and pump it back in.

Hmm, I think this calls for a group oil change...
