Ok, after doing some pretty extensive research, I am pretty much ready to do my 60k maintinence. But I am seeing some different methods for changing the MT fluid. I have found 3 write-ups for chaging the fluid. Now, these two just recommend draining the fluid:

...but this one recommend dropping the ENTIRE pan.

Now I want to do this right, so which one should I do? The one in which the pan is dropped take 12L of frigging fluid which will run me $100 if I use MT90, which I want to. So is one method better than another?

 

That cardomain one is for autos.

 

Well! That answers that.

 

Metal Maxima, what mileage does your car have? Are you getting any leaks after putting synthetics in?
