You can't drain the transmission fluid on the 2IS like a regular transmission, its a sealed unit. So highly unlikely. You'd have to drop the pan on the transmission to a small amount (~1.9 quarts) of transmission fluid.

BTW you were given the keys to the SLS and still left in your 250? LOL j/k

Why the hell would someone take their SLS for service to Firestone tho is what i'm wondering!!!

^^ there for "tire repair"

...and apparently Firestone f*ed that up too, bc the car was back in the shop this morning. maybe it was some wifey who tried to pull a fast one on her husband. ...or, it could just be another South Beach tool with stupid money. last week i went to the gas station across the street from Firestone on South Beach, and there was someone filling up a 599 GTB with regular. I've learned to laugh these things off after 12 months of being down here.

BTW, the firestone is one of the few tire shops in Miami Beach zip (you could make the argument that they have control over the 33139 zip, which has got to be the top 10 zip codes in the nation for exotics). dumb **** like this probably happens often.
