it's an SV6, which means i need to raise the car level and get under it while it's running to adjust the fluid level. I really don't want to get under the car, plus i dont have a full set of stands.

I have to change my radiator as the side plastic part has a crack and leaking coolant. Seeing as i have to disconnect the transmission lines on the radiator when i put the new one on, can i just refill the transmission line within the radiator with trans fluid rather then adding it to the...
