How to refill transmission fluid
Hi all,

Recently I had to do some radiator work and lost a little transmission fluid thru the cooling lines. Does anybody happen to know how to refill the oil? How do I check the level? I understand there's a filter for tranny, does that need to be changed? Thanks.

Sorry, I thought the profile on the side would show the type of the car. It's a 92 600 SEL. Thanks.
