Replacing the fluid should be attended to on a somewhat frequent basis. The 900 does not have a filter (9000,yes). Disconnect the return line from the back of the pump. Temporarily cap the metal tube. I found a vacuum cap works well. Extend the return line down with a metal splicer & a length of hose to where a bucket is underneath. Do not attempt to cut the return line as it is a steel reinforced line. Use the correct fluid & not just transmission fluid. Have someone start the car whilst you steady the hose. Keep idle speed as low as possible. As the reservoir empties, refill it. First time you might go through a quart of fluid so have a couple on hand. You will be amazed at how dirty the fluid is. Good luck!
