I got my PTU oil changed.  It looks like it was thickening.  The shop said they filled it then ran it and then drained it again.  Second drain was better looking.  He gave me the oil from both drains.  He also drained and filled the tranny 3 times running the car in-between.  I'm now at 29k.  I will agree that 25-30k miles is on the money for a change.  I used Amsoil severe gear.  A little background on me is this is my second SHO.  The other was a 2010.  It smoked a PTU around 80k and the torque converter began to fail at 105k.  I am going to take better care of the drive train on this one.

:thumb:  Did you grab some pics of the fluids they changed out?  What's in the trans now?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I have the fluid at the house in zip lock bags.  The fluid from the first drain was sticking to the bag.  The second(flush) was dirty but did not stick to the bag as bad. The third was good. I can post the first and third samples when I get a chance.  He used Fomoco trans fluid.  He showed me a sample of the trans fluid after first drain.  very dark but no burnt smell.

Also the mechanic that did my service said he filled the PTU from the vent.  He did not remove the DP.  He said he put 18 oz in it.  I believe this to be the correct amount.  Does this sound right?  If it is over filled it would just puke out the vent right?  If it puked out the vent I am sure I would smell it correct?  Reassurance needed here.

Well, since your SHO has the perf pkg, not sure why he needed to use the vent to fill at all.  For flushing, I could see a use.  Per Windstang's recent posts, seems like it should have a oneway valve?  So TBH I don't know.  Does your SHO already have the vent extension up near the brake fluid reservoir?  Not sure if he knew that's not a fill hole.

I gave him the procedure when I dropped it.  There must not be a valve. He did it 3 times.

It does sound easier to fill it through the drain tube though especially for guys that don't have a lift.

where is the PTU vent tube ?

is it OK to fill there ?

when changing the PTU fluid is it possible to over fill it and cause a problem ?

Im sure someone here knows and it would be great to see a picture.  I did not ask my mechanic but I can stop by and get him to show me.  It is supposed to hold 18 oz.  That is what he put back in it after flushing 3 times.  I have driven almost 1000 miles since with no issues.

Hmmm ... let me give it some thought Z ...   maybe a separate section for FSM excerpts is in order, linking back to howtos as applicable.
