E85 compatible vehicles have a yellow gas cap. E85 contains less 'energy' so your gas mileage will go down some. Congrats on solving your idle problem. If you replaced the solenoids, you can handle changing the tranny fluid (which, even if it was changed just before you bought it, should be changed again. There is no 'backyard mechanic' way to drain it all out. Only 4 qts will drain from the drain plug so drain and replace 4 qts. Check its condition. If it is horribly smelly and almost black like my wife's was at 60k miles, then repeat the following week and again the week after that. Proper fluid level is when it starts to trickle out from the upper plug when warm.</p></blockquote><p></p>
