bmuone 15 #1 Posted December 23, 2010 When the transmission filter is mounted horizontally (as on a C-175, 417A and many more) and above the transmission or axle...what happens to the oil in the filter and the hydro hose when the engine is cut off? Does it drain out of the filter to the bottom of the tank or does is just stop flowing and stay in the filter and hoses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle BO 0 #2 Posted December 24, 2010 iT's my belief that there is a one way valve in the filter and when the pressure is off the oil will stay in the filter. unclebo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmuone 15 #3 Posted December 24, 2010 Thanks UncleBo. I was just wondering about that when checking the oil level. Would the level go up or down depending on when you cut the engine off? But if it is cut off from draining out of the filter, should make no difference when to check it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
