RE: Hydro Lock =(
I doubt that you sucked up water, you would had to submerge the intake tube on the CAI. Do you have a CAI? If you sucked any amount of water into the intake you would have locked the motor up instanlly. There is no need to change any of the fluids in the car unless you didn't have an oil cap, or some other plug missing. If everything was in place you will be fine. As for the coolant, why would you replace it? Its mostly water, the worst you could have done is top it off, LMFAO

i wouldnt be concerned at all, if the oil is still clean ( i bet it is) just keep driving it. your not gonna fill the trans, motor oil, or anything else with water from a puddle, you have to be in water to the middle of the doors for at least 5 minutesto fill up the transmission ( i know this from purposly trying to drown a neon) i beat that car through 4 feet of muck water off road with no complaints out of it hundreds of times. your CAI sucked a little water, no big deal, the bogging would last for a few because of the wet filter not allowin much air to pass through. you will get water all over under the hood from it splashing up - if the coolant dont leak then assume it was just the puddle.
