I was sitting here thinking about our ST which is our second one and wondering why some aftermarket people haven’t designed a dipstick tube and dipstick that could make easy access to our trany’s. Doesn’t seem like rocket science. Being a little old and ocd it sure would be nice to switch to a aluminum larger capacity pan with a drain plug and have the ability to change the trany oil every 10,000 miles or so Too much time to think! lol.

Looking above the dipstick I could see no room for a tube. I put a PPE pan with a drain. I drain and measure how much came out and put the same in and save the hassle of the dipstick next to the hot exhaust.

Probably a better idea. I’m just lazy but your idea will work for me. Thanks!

There is just no room to put one. As mentioned, either the PPE or the Mishimoto pan have a drain plug for easy fluid changes.
