No engine light.2005 chevy trailblazer using a lot of fuel

First of all, I would (if it was my Chevy), add an entire 16oz Marvel Mystery-Oil (for GAS & OIL), into my Tank (drop-in a 12oz to your engine oil as well while you clean-out in preparation for NANO & FilterMAG), run-it to 1/4 tank, add another 12ozs and fill-up, and thereafter 8 to 12ozs per fill-up or when ever! Then get yourself this other great wonder, used all over Europe, and other parts of the world: http://razorinnovation.com/razor/index.htm 1 x 30ml per faculty or 4 to 10 L Lubricant (its best one-per). NANO is going to restore your entire Engine Block, Piston-walls, Cam & Crank Shaft and all the parts in your entire Engine, Tranny or Gearbox, Power-steering and also Differential. Some facts:
Fuel Saving up to 8-21% (up to 40% in idle mode)
5 times lowered noise and vibration levels
Restores friction surfaces and protects 100 times reduction of the friction coefficient
Increased Oil Pressure & Greater Combustibility
Bring engine power back to 100%
3-9 times reduction in CO and CH in the exhaust
Environmental Friendly with no side effect.

Now, this is no joking matter, it is going to reverse everything, with more miles you drive, the better it gets. I would also do one of these [ http://www.razorinnovation.com/unique/html/catagery.asp?uid=6&cat=Magnetic%20Oil%20Filter%20System ], to make sure the Engine and or Tranny Oils are 100% clean longer. 'Clean Oil runs your Engine Cooler'. I hardly add Gas to my tank, I run longer for years!

Hyundie 1300 Accent Hatchback year of manufacture 2000. Is the transmission lubricated via the engine or is it separate and filled manually.

Hi,
Off course! The engine oil is different from tranny lubrication! Fill the engine oil via engine oil cap. If u have an automatic transmission, check the level of ATF by looking at the transmission dipstick. and fill it up via dipstick tube. If you have a manual tranny, check the gear oil via inlet nut under the transmission.
Hope that clears everything!

Transmission oil in the radiator

If the radiator has tranny fluid mixed in with the coolant, then you have an internal tranny cooler leak. At the one side of the tranny, in the saddle tank, there is a tube. This tube allows hot tranny fluid to enter the rad and be cooled before returning to the transmission. It should be totally isolated and submerged in the coolant tank. Occasionally they can leak, and the two fluids will mix. You will need a new rad to repair the problem. It would also be recommended to have the tranny fluid and the coolant flushed after wards. Oil of any kind does not mix well with coolant, and could cause future damage to the tranny more so than the engine.

Oil in overflow tank

Could be tranny fluid or engine oil. Check trans and engine oil and see if they have water in them.Water in engine oil can mean a bad head gasket but could also mean bad intake gaskets or oil cooler if it has one.( rare on this car)Water in the trans most of the time means oil cooler in the radiator. This is bad and will mean transmission failure soon. The chemical reaction of the antifreeze and transmission fluid damages clutches and internal seals.

2004 1200 XLR WHERES OIL PLUG AND TRANS PLUG

Damon, on the bottom the drain hose has a plug. Remove the plug to drain ENGINE oil. When done draining (takes a long time as it drains slowly), put the plug back in and add oil to the oil tank on right side of the bike (don't forget to change the oil filter too). Transmission/chaincase/clutch oil is drained by removing the plug from the bottom of the tranny case. Adding tranny oil is done through the clutch inspection cover or chain inspection cover on the left side of the bike using a funnel with a hose attached (sold in aoutoparts stores everywhere). Tranny oil and engine oil are not the same! I would use Sportrans or HD tranny oil for that instead of 20W50 in the tranny. Add no more than 28 oz. If you add the whole quart (32 oz) you will have hard time finding neutral as the case will be over-filled. If you take the clutch inspection cover (a.k.a. derby cover) off, make sure the bike is not leaning on the kick stand but is upright or the proper amount of oil in the tranny will spill out. I put a brick under the kick stand and it centers the bike pretty well.

Good luck!
