Hey guys,

so for someone not mechanically inclined I've managed to do ALL the work on the entire truck yet I can honestly admit I have never changed tranny oil before in just about anything. Truck is running good and want to do some preventative maintenance. I have found some youtube videos for my generation but all manual trannys. I do not own a manual, truck never came with one. I want to do a FULL transmission fluid change with filter.. I've been looking up tranny filters on orileys and autozone (my shops) and the filters looks like a flat piece of fender metal or something? Is this correct? I heard my truck takes 7 quarts the other guy at the other shop said 9-10 quarts.

How difficult are these to change? The mechanic that seemed smarter said he though on this year i remove what looks like a bottom plate with gasket and it ALL drops out.. then pop out a filter replace gasket and refill.. but some transmissions you have to fill through some tiny opening with a small hose, so trying to figure this all out. I prefer doing things right the first time, plus I'll be putting expensive amsoil in her.

Appreciate the help making sure I don't waste money ruining things.!
