How do you drain training fluid of an 1995 Oldsmobile eighty-eight?

Answer 1

There is no drain plug on the auto tranny on these cars. Your best bet is to use a LARGE drain pan, then loosen the pan bolts. Carefully remove 4 of the bolts you just loosened, preferably the bolts in the front corner of the pan. Position your drain pan towards the now missing bolts. Carefully pull down the corner of the pan. Oil should start pouring out of that corner. Continue loosening/removing bolts towards the back of the pan to get a controlled flow of used oil into your drain pan. After removing all the old oil you can, carefully remove the pan and drain the remaing oil. I make sure my drain pan is large enough to hold the tranny pan, and wash off the interior (including the magnet)and exterior of the pan using a paint brush and the old fluid as a "solvent". Use a new gasket and filter. Tighten pan carefully. Pour in at least 3 quarts on new tranny fluid through the tranny dipstick tube. Start engine and continue adding fluid until it is in the "add" range. Take a short test drive and recheck fluid level. Look for leaks around pan and check fluid level for a couple of days after your service. Use the empty containers of the new fluid to take the old fluid to a recycling station.
