Talking of overfills - Auto tranny

[Pantelis Giamarellos]

Rob thanks for your kind words.

Have used this method to remove the excess oil I have once put in the RS2's
engine.

Also works great for pentosin removal.

But I must confess that the original idea (at least for me) belongs to input
from the notorious and missed from this list Phil Payne.

Take care and thanks again
Pantelis
