Will the smallest diameter hose fit thru an automatic transmission dipstick? I would like to change the tranny fluid of my car. Outer hose diameter?

It probably will fit, but odds are it won't be long enough. You could get some aquarium tubing and attach that via the adapter, possibly (or adapter + duct tape). You really should drop the transmission pan to change your fluid, though, so you can change / clean the filter at the same time.

The hose that came with mine is about 3/8" (1mm) outside diameter. I use it to flush and fill my tranns., but I do from underneath it through a fill hole on the pan (VW with no dipstick for trans fluid). As Carl said, it may not be long enough to reach the bottom of the pan through a dipstick opening. It's easy enough to get some fish tank tube to connect to it though.

I don't know what the diameter is but the black hose was useless in the sense that it is to small to effectively sick the fluid. I had some clear plastic tubing purchased at home depot that I used for sucking engine oil from the dipstick.Clear tubing is better so you can see the oil.

I am sorry, but I do not know. You have a lot of hoses, so I guess you might be able to do it. Good luck.

Richard...it comes with three hoses...but like on my MB C-240, I used the smallest O.D. hose, which BTW, is the longest one and it slides smoothly down the oil tube on the rear side of the engine, which would normally have a dipstick in it...on the MB C-240, there is no dipstick, just a plastic cap... Anyway, I am going to take a guess that the O.D. on the smallest hose is 9&#8260;32-inch (7 mm)...about the O.D. of a standard No.2 Pencil... I can't mic it right now since I am overseas and the unit is back in the USA... Maybe someone else that has one can chime in and help... Also, to clear up some issues that some people had using this unit... It works great and pulls 99% of the oil out of my MB C-240...BUT...when you first use it, you have to get use to how far in, you push the hose, as it tends up "Curl Up" once it reaches a point in the oil pan and so, the end may be out of the high end of the oil level and the reason that some people commented that it only pulled some of the oil out...which is NOT the case...if used correctly and with practice, it WILL pull like I said, 99% of the oil out... Hope you get a correctly "mic'ed" O.D. from someone... Art

Doubtful. While all trans fluids share common traits, this fluid is designed specifically for Honda transmissions. If your Saturn calls for a specific trans fluid you should stick with that instead of taking a chance. Using trans fluid that your owners manual doesn't specifically state is ok runs the risk of clutch pack friction disc damage and transmission failure.

As long as you have a automatic tranny it will fit, you just play around with hose size. Very good performance

yes for an automatic, change oil first as this will greatlly extend the life of the fluid and hence the transmission, drops the operating temperature quite a bit

It is typically plumbed into one of the transmission cooler lines, but it could be inserted into a transmission housing, if you have an existing port or you want to drill and tap one. I believe it's 5/32''. Manual transmissions typically run much cooler than AT's. You may want to look at an oil temp gauge that has a lower range.

You may with your hand book to find what grade of the transmission fluid is require when it need to change. You consult directly with Red Line people, they should response to you shortly. Other comparision you may refer to Liqui-Moly, as they are Germany Oil maker, they may more appropriate for German made car. I hope my answer can fulfill your expectation. Thanks

Yes, this is actually what you SHOULD use. I've done two transmission fluid changes, one required 100 inch pounds and the other 124 inch pounds. It was also needed for water pumps at 89 inch pounds and intake manifold at 115 inch pounds. Accurate torque at these low settings is very important to prevent leaks or damaging gaskets. I tested my wrench before using and it's very accurate.

You would need a line adapter. It has an 1/8th pipe plug. I put it in a port on the side of the transmission.

This fluid is supposed to be compatible with nearly all automatic transmission fluid types. It actually has an additive package that makes 'standard' fluids into 'premium' formulations with better lubrication and friction qualities. I am not familiar with your model but if the trans (either automatic or manual) calls for ATF, this additive should work fine.

Well , really wish I had a definite answer for you but I am not familiar enough with your year and model car. What I can tell you is I am in the windshield replacement business and frequently need different sizes of vacuum hose. I can also tell you that this particular size so far has been useless to me as it has a very small inside diameter and a very large outside diameter. Best bet is to cut a small piece of your existing hose and stop by a local parts store to match it up. There are also junction adapters to make just about any size work.

You can add it to new fluid or you can add it to existing fluid. Just right down the transmission fluid fill hole. It is the size of a med tube of tooth paste. So you dont have to worry about overflow.

Ignore the guy who suggests not using synthetic fluids. Some ENGINES can have issues with leakage after switching to a synthetic. But not transmissions. Your car REQUIRES a synthetic trans fluid anyways- using a conventional fluid WILL damage it! However, your car has the Mercedes 5- speed automatic, commonly called the NAG-1 transmission. The only aftermarket fluid I know of that meets the specs for this trans is Valvoline MaxLife synthetic.

As long as you bcan get the tip of the tubing into the transmission fluid it should work. Transmission fluid is no more viscous than oil and the pump will work.

HI, I used mobile 1 automatic transmission fluid, on my jag with the ZF 6 speed auto trans. It cured the harsh downshift problem and she shifts like new again.

Pull the dipstick for your transmission. If "T-IV" is stamped into the dipstick, then yes.

I'm using it for a power steering cooler. The fluid is similar so yes it will work with transmission fluid but it's best to use a transmission cooler. Those coolers have a stacked plate design and are better for transmissions
