Get a Fumoto valve and install it with loctite. Once installed all you have to do lift a lever and rotate it. Very easy to take oil samples for testing too.

Just regular grade. No need for paying higher prices when not required. The owners manual is your friend.

had the same problem, lost two complete sets, first replaced by dealer, second set I replaced on my own with the PN listed above. As a guarantee, I bought an extra set so I know I'll never need to replace again. When replacing it's a good idea to give the cavity a good cleaning and a few coats of se...

2009 GT center caps

Within a month all four center caps came off and were lost, but were replaced by the dealer. Now, some 10 months later the front two have shown up missing. Looks like I'll be ordering replacements and spares for the future for my soon to be collector vehicle. Any ideas on how to secure these caps so...

Transmission troubles,2009 GT Auto

Since about 1000 miles when coming to a stop, sometimes the trans shift into first is violent. the car will actually leap foreward unless heavy brake pedal pressure has been applied. I've had it back to the dealer once for this problem and of course could not duplicate the problem for the service co...

Re: (lovemyraffe) UPDATE

I noticed the front two missing on my 09 Gt after going through a touchless auto wash. I checked the other two and they seemed secure but today the rear two came up missing. With less than 3000 miles I hope the dealer replaces for free! Maybe locktite or duct tape? UPDATE: Dealer will replace for FR...

transmission shifting upgrade?

New to the forum and new to my 2009 VIBE GT-automatic. Does anyone offer any trans kits or chips that would reprogram for a tighter shift for better driveability? I had a performane tune added to my 2003 Mercury Marauder that VASTLY improved the shifting and all around driveability.Thanks!
