Allison HTB741 fluid change

[Chuck Wheeler]

I have found that the oil extractor I bought for our boat really helps. It is calibrated so you know how much oil you have removed andthen you have very little oil to deal with when you get under the coach.

Dan,
That number(5 gal) was a starting point, until you ran it.
The fluid has to circulate through the system(trans, cooler, etc),
and warm up. That's when you get to the exact amount. Remember,
the engine has to be running when checking the fluid level.
If you check it with the engine off, it will show higher on the
stick, as the fluid drains back into the pan when it is not running.
