I have always filled my auto back up via the dip stick tube?

i didn't suggest that (no metal cutting) - i thought you're past the top booth and you can't take out the lower one - i suggested to slice couple of inches in the lower rubber  booth since i will be covered by the top one, anyway nevermind the suggestion, good luck with it tomorrow.

sorry...misunderstood....you're right, that probably would be okay, but I'll use it as a last resort......actually, last resort will to pay dealer $150 to do it....starting to look like a better deal as each day goes by.... :'(

Yeah...that would be nice if I had one of those....it truly is amazing that the filler plug is where it is since the drivers side is completely accessible....what a pain in my freakin' ass....

I think I did pull out the plug on the drivers side when I filled mine back up.  I never looked to see if it said Do Not Remove though... ???

Thats crazy that manuals don't have a dip stick.

The oil in a manual is just for lube...like a differential, it shouldn't need to be changed for the life of the vehicle.....I think we all know better with vehicles that run through water, mud and the abuse that most of our rigs go through.
