Huh? Remove dipstick? But thats in the engine compartment for checking the
ATF level isn't it? All that comes out when I pull the dipstick is  the
little bit that sticks to that single street cleaning brush they give us to
measure with. Am I missing something here? And how much on hand do I need?
I'm going to buy Redine DF and that stuff ain't cheap.
