Diff fluid chg 2015 Cant access the magnet like 10 model

Post by Txpowerwagon » Sun Nov 22, 2015 7:47 pm

Just did my rear fluid chg and there is very limited access to the magnet. I don't remember my 2010 being like that. I couldn't take pics cause it was getting dark, but there was only what looked to be the end of the magnet (about 1/4" X 1/4") that was visible?? Does anyone have pics of what the 10-13 rear magnets look like? BTW the rear took a little over 3.5 bottles of 75W90.

Yup, my 15 is much different... wonder if that has anything to do with how quick the 15s lock up... mine engage in 5-7secs

Mine engages as fast as you can turn the knob with all that bypassed. Haha

I only do what the majority of the 4 voices in my head tell me to. In most cases, I ignore two of them because one doesn't speak English, and I suspect the other is talking to someone else.

Mine engages almost instantly. 1-3 seconds most times. Same with unlock. Just can't be under torque when you do either.
