    yes its difficult to get to, a long necked funnel helps
    check it only when the car is warmed up, if checked cold, the level will be low and you will overfill it which is bad and can cause many trans problems

    I personally use Castrol, although I have wanted to give the Penrite SIN stuff a go..

    Penrite's the shit when it comes to engine oils though. Probably holds the same for Trans oil.
