:ditto: Yeah, that's what I was trying to say.

Nope, can't reuse the fluid, as when you do each fluid change you are wanting to get rid of as much oil as possible. If you re-use the same fluid over, you are putting the Original Motor Oil that is mixed with that ATF back into the transmission as well. Basically you are diluting the motor oil...

Thanks for location info! I'll have to check that out, sounds like it could lead to a headache if not maintained. Well, that's an unexpected outcome :confused: It could be like you said, just the cold winter temps keeping it down, and it not being warmed up by the radiator. Just wouldn't have...

Thanks SteelAndCanvas! PM Sent!

Just posted a few more updates to the filter list in my OP (Original Post). I found the Air Filter Number and the Air Drier Kit Numbers. If anyone reads the A3 Filter List, and finds that I have forgotten a filter, please post a reply. Thanks!

Rustygears stated in another thread that the Napa Internal Transmission # was ATP14959. So far this has been the only part number that I have found the internal transmission filter. Is that the correct # or ??? Do you have an Allison or other Brand #? Here is the SS thread in which I found...

Just posted an update to my OP (Original Post), with all the best/original filter numbers that I have found so far. Not sure what the best or original Internal Transmission number is though, only found a Napa number. I posted this because there does not seem to be a full filter list anywhere on...

Hey MooresM35A2, I agree with you! I would rather pay a few more $ for a good filter, than to just get by with a cheap one. I'm buying all Cats filters. Do you happen to know if CAT makes Air filters? Or do they use another company? I've looked all through the pdf TM's (i really need paper...

Hope you refilled your transmission before you drove it :lol:rofl:lol: :whistle: j/k! Hummm... Have to look into the "transmission vent" info, as I haven't read anything about that yet. Have to find the info and be sure to check that while I'm at it. Thanks for the Tip [thumbzup] And I'm...

A Push Pull pump would be a handy thing to have to move the fluid from the bucket to the funnel. Thanks for the Tip! Adding that to my "stuff to get" list :)

Yes You Are 100% correct! The truck does have to be driven some between flushes to make sure that all the oil is being circulated into the system and not trapped somewhere in the transmission. Thanks for the tip reminder on the funnel, have to write that down on my "stuff to pickup" list. If I...

Hi Rusty! Instead of just draining the fluid, which basically only takes about half of your trans fluid at a time. One type of the Transmission Flushing Machines, requires that you take apart a connection on one of your cooling lines, and you connect two hoses to that line, one for in and one...

That is what I have read many people saying as to the reason why they are changing the fluid to over. Every post and comment I've seen has all been stating good improvements, so thats why I decided to do the same. Thanks for the personal experience review Steve! [thumbzup]

Thanks for the info, that gives me a better idea of on the transmission. And I'll remember the tips on the fuel filter too. Have to get a good strap wrench, as I don't think I have one at the moment, or at least one that works. I'll also take a look and clean the check valve, didn't know about...

Hi... Its me again. Ok, I am planning on doing a full service tune up and maintenance work to the A3, once I get it here. I am purchasing two of all the filters, one to put on the truck and one to keep as a spare. Since I have always been one to use the best filters for any vehicle I have...
