Re: Tranny cooler lines Gen 7, 4 cyl

Thanks. Pretty sure I saw the filter on top of the tranny - but couldn't tell which line went to it. I'll have to look again.

So it goes tranny to filter to radiator, then back.

Re: gsr eating oil

Get a little extension for your tailpipe. Just enough so it barely sticks out past the bumper. So most of the soot goes away and doesn't land on the bumper. That's what I did on my Civic HX.
