Transmission Oil question

23768 Views 60 Replies 18 Participants Last post by  tarrat002
I want to switch my tranny fluid to synthetic, specifically Synchromesh. I was wondering if anyone know how many quarts the 5 speed takes ( i am thinking between 2 and 3) and what weight is suggested. I looked in my owners manual and if its in there i must have looked over it. Any help please? Also, if anyone car take a pic showing me where the fill hole is, that would be very helpful also. Thanks

ok I am about to change my gearbox oil and I am going to go with redline, but should I get the redline 75W90 NS? or what...not sure the temperatures here are speratic, so if that makes any difference
so I just keep filling it until its full correct?

Not NS. Just MTL or MT90. Or the Amsoil from the other thread. Any of them will work fine.

I change the oil in my Supra every 20k miles. The tC isn't scheduled for a transmission oil change until over 100k miles. It's really up to you, whatever you feel comfortable doing. Gearboxes aren't terribly hard on oil unless you spend a lot of time at WOT. [/b]
Which one would I go with if the temperatures change often here, I am not sure if it matters or not but I want to be sure I get the right one.
