oil change

[mad924]

Hi all,
My first post
I have a '93 corona 2L auto. its a hack car but I still look after it.

tomoro during my lunch break I'm taking it to a section at work that has a pit i can use, but since I'll be pressed for time and i have no manual I have some qusetions:

-i honestly havent looked to hard at my engine yet, just enough to compare my new oil filter to the old one. first time on a east-west fwd car too. where do i top up the ATF?

-where can i find the sump plug and the ATF drainage plug? Are they hidden behind stone guards/ engine shields?

Any help I get, the quicker i can do the job and be back at work!
TIA!

sump plug is at the bottom of the oil sump. should be fairly easy to find - from experience I'd say you'll need a 14mm spanner or socket. I'd also check that the oil filter is the right one before draining any oil from the engine.

in terms of drainage for atf, hadn't actually thought about it - as generally on vehicles I've been near, if you're changing atf you want to flush the trans, which I don't think would be worth attempting if you have a lack of time.

good point re: flushing trans. Will have to leave it for another day.
