the tranny and differential fill and drain plugs are all 10mm socket-type bolts. You'll need at minimum a 10mm hex wrench, or better yet a 10mm hex socket bit (you know, for correct torques and whatnot).
edit- and the aero tray bolts are all normal 10mm bolts. A few along the forward edge are 12mm, but they do not need to be removed. |

I thought about the MT-85. Honestly, I have no problem with the MT90 in there now. It just takes a little longer to get up to temp. I have a quart of MTL (75W80) here that I'm not doing anything with. I could try draining a quart and adding that when it gets colder out. If it makes a difference, I'll know it wants a thinner oil (at least for the winter).

The very first thing I noticed more then anything was the lack of grip on the factory tires. Will not be going to the track with them again... Track was also wet, so I didn't get to push the brakes too hard. We will change the fluids during our brake upgrade stage, for now we want to push the car in stock form. |

FR-S comes with magnetic plugs... we didn't put any aftermarket ones. |

Motul for the manual tranny
Any reason you didn't use Motul Gear 300 in the manual transmission as well?

I'm thinking its because Motul Gear 300 is GL-4 and GL-5. It contains higher amount of extreme pressure agents (EP) which contain sulfer-phosphorus compounds that is not good with yellow metals often found in synchronizers.
