Different oil level readings with hood open

Different oil level readings with hood open

Changing Fluids
While Mike's list is daunting it is also comprehensive. Tackle the easy, cheap stuff first. The diff's and the transmission are both easy if not a little messy. For the diff's spend the extra 10 or 15 dollars and get the hand pump for putting the fluid back in. A lot easier and a lot less...
