R&R'ed the tranny pan oil and filter and it's good to go again. Current owners should really get a full flush of the tranny because I don't think 4 quarts can displace 12-14 quarts the transmission takes.

With just ~8K miles on the FRS' current diff/tranny Motul 75w90 oil and a score from CSG, it's getting new Motul diff/tranny oil. 8K miles...is it necessary, is it overkill? You bet it is. Then again, it's cheap insurance for this year's worth of easy driving haha

Should prob do mine again soon... Yummy shavings
