Hi Everyone, I'm going to change my auto gearbox oil tomorrow, took some of the old stuff out with a syringe and plastic tube and it looked dark to medium brown instead of red. Has anyone any tips.Also I cant find a torque setting for the drain plug.
Thanks:eek::eek:

dark brown indicates a problem with the gearbox as far as im aware
 
Well at the moment its working fine, I want to change it as the car is fairly new to me and I tow a caravan
 
Thanks I've looked there but I cant find a torque setting for the drain plug, mind you it may be me, I'll have another look
 
auto oil change done, just for future use, I got 4.9 litres out and drained it hot. sump drain plug head is 19mm, but the thread is 13mm approx, so dont overtighten. I used nissan atf and a new crush washer. running fine and seems a bit smother although that could be me.
