I stopped by and talked to the mechanic who did my PTU today.  He disconnected the vent tube at the PTU and installed a longer tube that came up above the engine to fill through.  Then he reinstalled the vent tube.  I asked him to extend the vent up next to the master cylinder du

During the next servicing so it will be easy and cheaper to do.

Interesting, To be honest I don't think I even saw the vent tube, space is so limited in that area! I need to see if I can get a look at it because I think the "leak" that has what appears to be gear oil all over the PTU and dripping down around the motor mount is coming from that vent tube. Just a longer one in place to keep it from leaking would be nice. Any idea how long the stock one is?

Looks like about a foot or so. I can see it from the top but can't get my hand on it.  Would have to get to it from underneath.  If I extend it it would make the fluid change easy.

Had my PTU changed again at 60k.  I used Amsoil last change at 30k.  It was thick but not chunky this time.  Definitely dirty.  I think I will do it again at 80k.  I am using Royal Purple this time because I couldn't get Amsoil in time.  Amsoil definitely held up better than FOMOCO in my opinion.  There was no tune or T-stat for the first 30k.  I would imagine the cooler T-Stat may have assisted the Amsoil performance. I also had the vent tube run up to near the master cylinder.

Exactly how I want to do mine. Did you use 5/16" ID hose?

Same size as factory hose.  I didn't measure.

My fluid was way thicker than that at 30k. It was  and it was still thicker than the video but not as bad as the first time.  I had the same issue getting fluid in thru the vent tube I added. I was thinking if I slide a very small tube down the vent tube into the PTU and long enough to stick out of the funnel that would let the air out(slowly) while it filled.     I found a roll of small diameter heat shrink tubing that I might try next change. I'll post pics if it works.  I also thought about poking a small hole in the bottle so it drips and hanging it over the funnel and just let it drip overnight.

I was honestly thinking about cutting a small hole in the bottle but I actually prefer doing it the way I did because it allowed me to get a good measurement of how much to put in. That small diameter tubing may be a good idea though!  The fluid was more than likely thinned out after about 20 minutes of city driving so it was nice and hot for better flow.
