Default 5atf fluid help

Ok I've read a lot on the 5at fluid change, one problem. I pulled the wrong hose off my radiator and let out an unknown amount of ATF out. If there is no dipstick how can I put the correct amount in? And I haven't searched to hard under the hood but where is the fill hole? Thanks

Pop your hood, go to passenger side, all the way back to the firewall next to battery. Find your top heater hose and go straight in front of that.

You didn't state your year but from what I've seen that should be close. OR,

Take it to JiffyLube and let them sort it. GL

Unfortunately I've just spent 10k on my motor and vortech and I won't be taking it to any jiffylube and just letting them sort it out. Lol thanks for the info though.

You are absolutely right on the location of the dipstick filler tube.

My friend, no insult intended. I saw your join date and nobody had offered help after 30 views, and I had no idea of your expertise. Just trying to help a brother out...

JiffyLube would be a perfectly acceptable solution for someone who can't find their dipstick after 6 years.

Good luck with your car!

I simply said I hadn't looked yet, I just built a whole vortech kit, full fuel system, and header back exhaust. I'm not retarded I just don't trust some little punk kid that makes $8 hr at jiffy lube on my car.
