Some people try to force it into a one way oil pipe. Just use some garden house and pour it into the oil cooler. Takes 5 seconds to go in. Look up my posts on here.

Well I thought I better try this as I have had a tube in the car for months.
Using the method described above it took me less than 5 minutes from start to finish!
1. Clean area with spray WD40 or similar
2. Loosen screw clip at top of (non reverse flow) pipe where it meets oil cooler.
3. Move pipe out of way keeping end upright.
4. Push on 2 foot section of basic garden hosepipe (clean/dry) or similar tubing.
5. Add Dr Tranny to pipe while holding pipe upright - it will flow in in a second or two.
6. Remove hosepipe and refit oil cooler pipe and scew up.
7. Run engine for a few minutes.

Interested in this. Did you notice any difference in how it drives? The D3 I’ve just bought has a slight judder at around 2000 revs when accelerating. I think it needs a mega flush but this may tire me over short term.
Cheers

Two sachets are better than one, preferably after an ATF change.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
