Hello,

I bought a Haynes manual for my 2003 Corolla. It explains how to do
change the automatic transaxle fluid and filter. It says the car
should be warmed up to a normal temperature so the sludge and
sediments come out better.

I'm concerned about getting burned. If the plug is similar to the oil
pan, it won't come out all the way after the thread part is removed. I
change the oil when the car is cold.

Can someone advice? Is there a way to minimize the risk? Maybe an
extension to the rachet, gloves, etc. My concern is hot fluid falling
along the gloves will ultimately burn me.

Thanks in advance.
