1. Advance Auto says I need 8.5 Quarts of Pentosin transmission fluid for the job. It is $19.99/Quart. Ouch!!! Is this true?
2. The differential oil listed is a full synthetic 75/140 and the volume listed is 2.8 quarts.
3. I have all the necessary tools for the job and am capable of doing it but am wondering at this point if I should take it in to the dealer to see if my extended warranty will cover it. Any thoughts? The only problem with the dealer option is they want $100 just to look at the vehicle.
8.5 quarts is for the engine fill not the differential, and it may be about right for a full oil change in the tranny, I am not sure. The 2.8 quarts s more like it. It has been noted on here before, have a quick search.
You mention the transmission and then the diff, are you sure you do not mean the tranny oil?
