Did you do the double flush or just the empty & fill? Did you also change the auto box floorpan filter at the same time?

Brooks very interested in the spec & part number on the oil you have used
Have you got the bottle? Maybe you can get a picture of it so we can all rush to our local millers stockist

I'm sorry but I dont understand the excitement on it being the correct oil BECAUSE it smell bad!!!   Experience is a difficult teacher, because she gives the test first and then the lesson afterwards!!!!
