    if you don't have a tranny dipstick (most 525s after 91 didn't) you add it through a bolt hole on the left rear side of the pan under the car, take the car for a few mile drive to get it warmed up then figure out now to get under the car safely and with the car idling take the 17mm plug out and add fluid till it runs out the hole, it's now full
    all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
