Read articles →This is Part 2 of a real owner-performed 400-hour service on a BX23S, focused specifically on the hydraulic/transmission fluid change: draining fluid, pulling and cleaning the strainer, swapping the transmission filter, reinstalling the drain plug, and refilling to the dipstick line (about three gallons). It includes hands-on mistakes and fixes, like jack-stand and clearance tips for next time. Best for owners doing this exact service themselves.
Posted by the LukyNumbrKevin channel, an owner filming his own DIY maintenance rather than a dealer or professional presentation.
Get oil on the new filter gasket, avoid cross threading, thread it on until it stops, then go a half turn by hand.
Use a screwdriver to pry the strainer off the housing, though removing the rear left tire makes access easier.
The video shows about three gallons added, filling the dipstick to almost the top, just under the mark.
The fluid is caustic, so if it gets on skin, remove it within five to ten minutes or it can cause burning and a rash.
