Dipstick/Filler Tube Update

Filler Tube
On XJR Sedans, a new transmission fluid filler tube is introduced to accommodate the installation of the EGR valve. A slotted bracket secures the top of the tube to the forward side of the EGR valve mounting, enabling the tube to be repositioned for checking and replenishing the transmission fluid.

WARNING: TAKE CARE TO PREVENT TRANSMISSION FLUID BEING SPILLED. WHEN CHECKING OR REPLENISHING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, THE FILLER TUBE MUST BE REPOSITIONED AS SHOWN TO AVOID SPILLAGE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID ONTO THE EXHAUST AND HEAT SHIELDING.

After checking/replenishing the transmission fluid, the tube must be returned to the normal position and the securing bolt tightened to 15.5 to 20.5 N.m (138 to 181 lbf.in).

Dipstick
A longer dipstick is introduced to match the increased length of the new filler tube. The fluid level markings on the dipstick are unchanged.
