Manager Forum

Curious, if I catch an error in the fluid section, how do I report it? I've caught 3 cars that have the wrong type of coolant listed.

Typically, these are reported directly through the FEEDBACK button in ProDemand. Since you clicked the Fluids button from Manager SE, you weren't presented with that option.

I'm moving this to the ProDemand area as that is what this is about. If you can list the specifics I will pass them on to look into.

With fluids being so important please post it as soon as you see it. Could save one of us a huge disaster.

If I may include what we do. I too have thought that a fluid recommendation and or fluid amount was incorrect. So, what I do is simply consult the OEM website for the proper fluid recommendation. But if we may provide the Mitchell team with feedback where we suspect information may be incorrect, we will do that.

Thanks for the tip.

Speaking of fluids - 2014 GM 5.3 motors are listed at 8 quarts of 5w20 dexos, but 2015 are listed at 8.5qts & they have a smaller filter too? Anyone else noticed this?

2004 Lexus LS430 - has listed LLC, should be SLLC
2004 Lexus ES330 - has listed LLC, should be SLLC
2004 Lexus GS300 - has listed LLC, should be SLLC
... I think you see the trend. From what I can tell, all Toyota/Lexus/Scion vehicles switched to SLLC from LLC in 2004.

Might be useful to create a feedback button into the estimator/fluid/maint/parts/labor module where when we notice something wrong, we can click and send feedback immediately

I agree, that button should be in the fluids section, I do not have time to go back and forth to different pages to post a problem in one section.

Small problem (big one actually); the access screens from SE are called "intents" (go fetch this data based on my Manager SE vehicle selection). Because this type of data retrieval doesn't include your account information or certain relational access to the YMM or VIN, there is currently no way to simply add the Feedback button seen in native stand-alone ProDemand and have it still report the data back to us.

So it will be necessary to find another way to accomplish this, just wanted you to know it's part of a larger discussion.

Makes sense. Have we thought about a feed back button built in to the actual manager application? Vehicle information could be filled in there along with the issue being experienced. That would still be easier than opening up the forum, signing in, creating a new topic about the issue we are seeing, etc. However, it is certainly useful sometimes to see other users post about the same issues you are having and what their solution is. Just some thoughts
