I drained my transmission fluid by mistake. I can't figure out how to get the cap off the dipstick. How do I get the cap off the dipstick? I need to put transmission fluid back into the car. I hope this is a 200 character question.

Hello,

This CVT transmission gets filled from the bottom by removing a plug and using a special tool, which connects to the plug at the bottom of the transmission.

You want to make sure that you do not over fill the transmission. This can be done by measuring the amount of fluid that got drained.

I have attached the fluid adding procedure below. Also included is a picture of the tool.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
