Can someone tell me how the ATF is topped up on a 3.2 please.
Is it the same as the Pajero that has to be filled through the dipstick tube.
Also how much oil to do a change as I'm looking to do a service this weekend including changing the ATF.

That's certainly how you fill it - but you may find the process of getting it out / changed more than you're expecting - and significantly more expensive (although not doing it is orders of magnitude more expensive)

See here >> ATF thread

I posted a process and Assassin rightly corrected - he has more up to date information.

Thanks for that, looks like I'll be buying quite a lot of ATF fluid then!
As you say, rather that cost than the possible cost implications in the future from not doing it!

Forgot to ask, is the level checked in Neutral with the engine running?

yes ...engine running, hand brake hard on...go through all the gears, back into neutral, keep the engine running and truck level...now check the atf level.

Thanks for that. Same method as on my Pajero just wanted to check.
