Abstract
An external adapter includes an elongated housing formed with a pair of internal open ended longitudinal fluid passageways defining, respectively, a used fluid and an unused fluid passageway. The used fluid passageway is internally threaded at one end thereof for engagement with a mounting fitting formed on a transmission filter mount for vehicles with external transmission fluid filters. The opposite end of the used fluid passageway is threaded for engaging one end of a used fluid fitting which includes an opposite end for connection to a drain hose for withdrawing used fluid from the used fluid fitting. The unused fluid passageway includes a first end which aligns with at least one filtered fluid port on the filter mount when the adapter is engaged with the mounting fitting. The opposite end of the unused fluid passageway is threaded for engagement with an unused fluid fitting which includes an opposite end for connection to a supply hose for supplying unused fluid from an external fluid source to the unused fluid fitting.
