SERVICE INFORMATION
Here's something we need to really emphasize from last month's article "Replenishing ATF on Vehicles With A/T Oil Jet Kits." Every time you add ATF, make sure you check the oil jet hose carefully for damage and replace it if needed. Step 1 in that article stressed only being careful not to kink or pull on the hose when you're detaching it. Never reinstall an oil jet hose if it's bad; it's an invitation for a come-back.
