I'd like to change my transmission oil to Mobil 1. Does anyone know how many quarts of oil the transmission holds. The manual and 2 dealers were not able to answer this question.

Also, I crawled under the car tonight, but I could not determine which of the many bolts on the bottom of the transmission is the drain plug. Can anyone help me out here? It looks like the fill plug is on the vertical front side of the transmission.

Any help/advice you could give me would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

Thank you. Just what I was looking for. I guess I'll be going back to the store for two more quarts. I only got three.

Don't use Mobil 1 for your tranny, it's not the correct grade (GL5 vs. GL4). Spend a few more dollars on Redline MT-90.

What's the benifit of changing to Redline? Is there EXTRA protection for clutch abusers such as myself?

I have about 5K miles, should I do it ASAP or wait?
