Manual transmission oil change guide

http://www.totehmoon.com/uploads/man...ission_diy.pdf

I found this online and thought I would share. It seems like the popular oils to swap out with are the Redline MTL (a little thicker viscosity than factory fill) and Redline D6 ATF (same viscosity as factory fill). Both are GL-4 compatible. (no sulfur to damage brass sychronizers)

Do not shoot the messenger...but here you go!

Just to add, if you have a factory LSD, then Redline recommends the Redline MTL fluid only.

It is always an option. I am going to wait till I am around 100k before I change mine.
