Nice job btw

No there are 3 GRT there right now with the trans out, he said they didn't need one to fill them.

JWillis72 · 02-09-2016, 06:29 PM

I went and filled the trans with him so he couldn't blow it off but once again it's holding a quart less than Level 10 said it should so no dyno tonight. I emailed Level 10 to see what they say before we continue.

How much did they tell you it is suppose to hold? Do you have the trans cooler?

JWillis72 · 02-09-2016, 07:06 PM

They told me to add 10 quarts and that it should self level around 9.7 when up to temp.

Ok yeah dude mine only held between 8-9 also. I think 10 is impossible.

JWillis72 · 02-09-2016, 08:23 PM

Thank you man, he has told me 9.7 this whole time and we have tried 7 or 8 times and it only ever holds 8.5. Pats a super nice guy but clearly he must be thinking of a different trans.

Is the car running when you add the remainder of the oil?

I only ask because as part of the oil change on the trans you have to add the required amount (quickly replacing the screw) start the car then remove the screw, excess will drain but if nothing comes out then you can add more at this stage, while the engine is running, until it starts to drain. It should be at the right level then. Replace the sump screw and your away.

We had a copper tube on the pump with a small piece of the clear hose about 1" from the tip that worked as a plug so we could fill it with the car off. We then ran the car until the pan was 100 degrees and pulled the plug with the car running. The first time we filled it Pat didn't tell me to do it running and it was trying to dump all the fluid.

Yeah the Nissan dealership is who installed my Level 10 trans.

Maybe this will help?

Install a new O-ring to the charge pipe tool NO. 310811EA5A or equivalent. Connect a scan tool to the DLC and monitor transmission fluid temperature. Start the engine and warm the transmission to approximately 104°F (40°C) NOTE: temperature greatly affects fluid level. Ensure temperature remains constant during checking procedure. With vehicle on a level surface shift the transmission through each gear, then return to the P position. Raise the vehicle and remove the overflow checking plug from the pan. Install charge pipe tool NO. 310811EA5A or equivalent. HAND TIGHTEN only. Connect a suitable fluid pump to the charge pipe and add 0.5 liters of the correct fluid to the transmission. Remove the charge pipe. If no fluid flows from the overflow hole Continue adding fluid. Allow fluid to drain until it drips. Install and tighten overflow plug.

this is now much Nissan says it should take.

Liters 9.2 Quarts 9.7

If you don't shift through the gears it wont take all the fluid!

StillenZ84 · 02-10-2016, 09:46 AM

Well let me know Jason if you are able to get 9.7 quarts in. I figured the dealership would know how much to put in. If that is what they call for then Im guessing it has to fit somehow. Im going to call my buddy at Nissan today to see why they only put 8.5 in mine.

Im not sure what the level ten in tales,

But maybe theres less room for fluid now???

JWillis72 · 02-10-2016, 01:01 PM

Level ten left out the shifting it part in his instructions to me! S**t, I just drove it and it seemed fine. We were going to dyno it at three but I guess it back to the lift and there is a car on it.
