It's a fairly straightforward but involved job. The filling has to be done with a special tool (I think, the 5hp19 certainly did due to no fill/level plug) although it can be made easily enough. Specific amounts need to be put in then a sequence of gear selections, and the oil has to be a specific temperature for the level to be correct. I would be happy enoug to do my own one if I were able to get underneath the thing properly. Wihout a proper lift it isnt easy!

The comments about the D3 box generally being fine after an oil change are encouraging. IT's description of the cause of the hoot is interesting. I had just assumed it was the TC clutch slipping. I must speak to my local autobox specialist and see what he says.
