I accidently drained the trans fluid, cold engine. Dont ask, Im exhausted from other things, and didnt have my head on straight. I know where the fill is, and I have a transfer pump. What should I do now? Which fluid is readily available in Florida? Im a one man show. 2001 VDP NA. Thanks in advance.

 

If you have another car, run down to your nearest Advance Auto Parts and ask. Gotta ask: how did you drain it?

 

Autozone, O'Reilly's, Advance...I believe all 3 deliver. Get the 5 qt container, usually saves a couple of buck.

 

Drain pan bolt.

 

Which fluid?

 

Should I fill till overflow? Then start it, run it thru the gears, and check again?

 

US original Esso LT71141
rebadged as Mobil ATF LT71141
