The local VW dealer did this with a Galant trade-in they had and sent it down to us to figure out why the trans was slipping. Oh and that recommendation that you should use the OEM filters applies to Japanese brands also.>> We took the EuroVan to the dealer last week to get the rounded drain plug removed. Jiffy lube admitted they put it in too tight the last time, and said they would pay to have it removed. The dealer also wanted an extra $50 to remove the non OEM filter since it didn't have the nut on the top. We only take the EV to Jiffy since my brother in law runs most of them in the midwest. I used to bring my own filter, but Jiffy lube started stocking them. Now I guess I'll start bringing my own again.
