1. Stick up your finger in the PW reservoir filter unit and turn left
2. Remove the filter unit, just like plugging your household socket bulb
3. Use the high power sucking pump, and suck the oil into a transparent
container.
tips,
1.Make sure before topping up during flushing always install back the
filter just to avoid any dirt going into the system..
2.After topping up make sure start the engine for 1 or 2 minutes, for the
pump to circulate the new fuild.. the pw pump powerful you can see the
fliud swirling inside the reservior..and sure nothing is hanging or
blocking near engine prior starting the engine..
3.The fuild capacity is around 0.8litre (in the manual), 3 to 4 times
flushing should be adequate...
4.Don't forget to put back the pw filter..and wash with water any fuild
spillage..
5.Use fluid recommended by manufacture i.a.w with maintenence manual or
equivelent dexron II fluid...
Caution! extra safety precaution should be adhered when handling running
engine.. any mishap arises in the course of exercuting it shall not be
the responsiblity of the author....

no lar ... I never do for money one ...most of my fren send their car to
workshop also... bcoz I will never do for them, I only show them how to
do it, and they got to hold the spanners and DIY, most of them will get
sick after changing clutch plate.. once they are able to change the
timing belt, the rest is easy... not many people like this job unless for
money or you are really damn crazy hehehe... once you got the taste of
either changing a clutch plate or timing belt.. you would never want to
do it again.. the shop will never close..trust me
