What time does the event start? I called NW to check on the parts - the guy I spoke with had no that there is a DIY event?? He gave me the official line that the transmission fluid does not need changing. Then he said that they only have 20 gallon drums and they don't sell it in smaller container. After some interrogation it turned out they do sell it per litter but you have to bring your own container ...

Anyhow... what do I need to bring? I have my toolbox ready, do I need to bring my oil removal pan? Thanks.

We usually just dump our old fluids into their containers, but bring anything you think you may need just in case, including paper towels and gloves.

I'm pretty sure this is the first DIY at this location, so they may not know many answers and/or how this event is run.
