Under normal use, and proper maintenance, you should never have to change the solution. That is one of the biggest advantages of the SmartWasher. Ozzy cleans the solution of contaminants, leaving you clean solution to work with. Hydrocarbon materials are bioremediated in the SmartWasher so your "used" solution does not need to be hauled away as hazardous waste.

We use a Coolant Flushing Machine, which gets rid of all the old fluid and replaces it with the correct quantity of new fluid. See similar questions...

We use glycerin, FDA approved. This food additive is found in many recipes, the most common being frosting (or icing) on cakes. It is also used in some skin creams, makeup and lipstick. Others use animal-based Glycerin or water combinations. See similar questions...

Depending on the vehicle make and model, some transmissions have external filters exactly the same as an engine and some have a filter inside the gearbox which requires the pan to be removed and then replaced. We change the transmission oil using a fluid exchange machine which pushes the old oil out and adds the new fluid at the same time. See similar questions...

Brake fluid is a hydroscopic fluid, meaning that it attracts moisture. Moisture is created from the heating/cooling effects of normal brake use, also humidity from the atmosphere. This moisture causes rusting and pitting of internal parts, which leads to unnecessary replacement costs. Under severe braking excess, moisture can cause the fluid to boil, leading to brake failure. See similar questions...

We test the moisture content using a hydrometer. Once the fluid has an excess of 3% moisture, we will recommend replacing it. This is checked annually by us and normally requires changing every 2 years. See similar questions...

The fluid should be filtered after the first 200 hours of use and should be changed out every 2,000 hours. This can take place at the distributor location and be completed in about 30 minutes. Tes does not "use up" the tes fluid while in operation. It is possible however, to lose approximately one teaspoon of fluid when the quick connects are disconnected. There is a sight tube on the front of the tes machine. See similar questions...

PLEASE - Check your service manual. The severe service definition means that the vehicle is operated *primarily* in one of those conditions. Mopar 3-speed automatic transmissions need to have oil and filter changed when the oil gets discolored due to suspended solids. ATF usually does not need to be changed unless contaminated. The trans oil can get contaminated by overheating or by severe internal wear due to abuse, especially towing. (Mostly from Robert Muir). See similar questions...

Brake fluid should be changed AT LEAST every two years. Bleeding should be done yearly and after an Autocross. Brake fluid absorbs water which corrodes the lines. Bleeding regularly will significantly increase safety and life of your brake components. DOT 4 fluids have a higher boiling point than DOT 3 fluid but are also more hydrophilic and therefore must be replaced more frequently than DOT 3. See similar questions...

For the VG engine, only about 2.8 to 3 quarts comes out. The plug is on the front part of the transmission and is unscrewed with a 1/2 drive socket wrench. As for the VE engine, almost all of the fluid drains out via a 19 mm plug on the bottom of the transmission. Check to ensure a proper level with the car level and running after the job. My engine seemed to be shifting for no reason when I first started driving my car in the morning. See similar questions...

Changing your transmission fluid regularly will extend the life of your transmission. On most transmissions, there is also a filter that needs to be changed at the same time. Most transmission specialists suggest changing the filter and fluid every 30,000 miles, even if the fluid looks clean. What happens is over time, it breaks down and becomes dirty. The operating temperatures will rise and lubrication will decrease, leading to premature wear and transmission failure. See similar questions...

Like an automatic transmission, the fluid in your manual transmission needs to be changed regularly. Changing the fluid will extend its life by removing dirt and moisture and by maintaining lubrication and minimizing high speed foaming. When the fluid gets dirty, it can no longer lubricate as it was designed. See similar questions...

Yes. Changing the fluid in your differential will extend its life by removing dirt and moisture and by maintaining lubrication and minimizing high speed foaming. When the fluid gets dirty, it can no longer lubricate as it was designed. See similar questions...

Yes. Changing the fluid in your 4X4's transfer case will extend its life by removing dirt and moisture and by maintaining lubrication and minimizing high speed foaming. Please note that your transfer case must be serviced even if you almost never use your 4-wheel drive. Your transfer case is operating at all times, regardless of whether all four wheels are engaged. See similar questions...

Changing the fluid in your power steering system will extend the life of your power steering pump and rack. We recommend having a Power Steering flush performed. Which will change almost all of the old fluid. When the P/S fluid gets dirty, it can no longer lubricate as it was designed. See similar questions...

This was taken from the LS1 FAQ which is on www.ls1.com and was original submitted by Mitch Warren. I have made my own slight modifications to the instructions based on what I feel is the best way to do this. Let me start by saying you will get lubricant on the floor. It's unavoidable. If you have been driving your car for any length of time, the lube will be hot, so please be careful and have the oil soak and shop towels handy. See similar questions...

Yes. Although some people not familiar with the rear ends in this car will tell you different, the rear ends have a lot of meshing to do when they're new and they will develop a lot of metal shavings in the fluid which much be released. Some people actually change their fluid before 7,500 miles. Once you've changed the fluid the first time, you don't need to keep doing it every 7,500 miles after that. Follow the service schedule in my user manual for your car. See similar questions...

It is better to change the oil and transmission fluid at the end of the season, prior to storage. Lubricants naturally accumulate moisture, combustion by-products, and other contaminants during use. It can be detrimental to store an engine or drive with large amounts of these contaminants present. See similar questions...
