Usually you can tell if you have the correct kit by the shape of the pan gasket 
and the number of bolt holes in the pan gasket (before you take the pan off).

[MBZ] Secret message for OK Don WAS: OT Caravan

2010-09-26 Thread Dieselhead
Changing the trans fluid and filter on the van was way easy, except 
for draining the TC.  Easier than an MB because you only have to 
raise the left front wheel a little. to get to the pan.  The pan was 
glued on with black RTV.  Next time I will have some permatex blue or 
red or RTV stuff handy too.  The filter has no screws.  just pops off 
and then you get a bath when the filter lands in the oil drain pan.


  For future reference: to drain the TC fluid, you want to take the 
oil cooler line closest to the back cylinder off at the trans and 
drop that hose in the pan.  Or you can take the radiator end off the 
other line, and drop the hose in the pan.


I took off the hose furthest from the trans.  I figured I had a 50/50 
chance of getting oil coming out the hose.  Murphy is alive and well, 
because the nipple furthest form the back cylinder is the pressure 
side.  So I sprayed everything with oil, then shut it down and put 
the hose back on and took off the OTHER hose at the trans on the 
nipple closest to the back cylinder.  only took a few more seconds 
for bright red oil to come out.


Counting the new oil pumped into the pan, I think I have about 7 qt 
in it now, and it is a little low.  After I cycle it through the 
gears and get it warmed up, I will refill the fluid to the level.


FLAPS could not tell me how much oil it should have taken with or w/o the TC.



IIRC, yes - it's as simple as the SL. I also don't think the TC has a drain
plug.

Good!  I'll send YOU the cleaning bill!

When the filter came off and splashed fluid all over my head, some of 
it ran into my eye before I could turn eyes up.  so, in return for 
your cheerful funding of washing up my mess, I will tell you that the 
filter on my 00 with 3.3 engine is square, and the one FLAPS sold me 
was not.  They gave me the wrong filter.  It is held on at the RR 
corner of the filter with a tube that fits with an oring into the 
valve body.  So, grab the LF corner with one hand and pry the filter 
RR corner away form the valve body with the other, and you can avoid 
the bath.  The filter has 4 little bumps that interfere with the oil 
pan, so the oil pan holds the filter snug in place.


for 100k miles, the fluid was not bad.  Cleaner than the 150k SL that 
probably had trans filter changed sometime.  Guess I shoulda done the 
trans filter right away.  SHoulda done it on the van long ago, but I 
only intended to keep it a year or two.  Now I think it is 5 or 
approaching 5 I have had this van.

 a tube that fits with an oring into the valve body.  So, grab the LF corner
 with one hand and pry the filter RR corner away form the valve body with the
 other, and you can avoid the bath.  The filter has 4 little bumps that
 interfere with the oil pan, so the oil pan holds the filter snug in place.

 for 100k miles, the fluid was not bad.  Cleaner than the 150k SL that
 probably had trans filter changed sometime.  Guess I shoulda done the trans
 filter right away.  SHoulda done it on the van long ago, but I only intended
 to keep it a year or two.  Now I think it is 5 or approaching 5 I have had
 this van.

I'm not talking about the clothes.  that is minimal.  You volunteered 
to pay to clean the engine compartment, the radiator, condensor and 
the garage floor.  Thanks.


I did not like getting the stuff in my eye.  Going to take a shower 
now to get it out of my hair.



I would have remembered a bath like that - so I lucked out when I did it
last time. I have a set of car clothes - no cleaning bill other than they
get washed all by themselves.

 Good!  I'll send YOU the cleaning bill!

 When the filter came off and splashed fluid all over my head, some of it
 ran into my eye before I could turn eyes up.  so, in return for your
 cheerful funding of washing up my mess, I will tell you that the filter on
 my 00 with 3.3 engine is square, and the one FLAPS sold me was not.  They
 gave me the wrong filter.  It is held on at the RR corner of the filter with
 a tube that fits with an oring into the valve body.  So, grab the LF corner
