Changing fluids for the first time - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

iNcontroL · 03-04-2016, 01:49 PM

Hey guys,

I wanna change my car's fluids myself for the first time. I plan on going with Motul but I don't know exactly what I need. I haven't changed fluids in the 18 months that I've owned the car beyond what they've done at Service and it's at around 14,000 miles.

Could anyone tell me which Motul to use for which fluid change and how much I'd need to buy if I want to drain the fluids and replace it completely? Thanks!

well what exactly are you going to be changing?

Engine oil?
Trans fluid?
Diff fluid?
Brake/master cylinder fluid?

MT or AT ..... ??

PS - I believe your owners manual will give you the information on fluid capacities (p. 340+).

MT and I planned to do Engine, Differential, and Transmission. Unless you guys think it's a good idea to do break fluid as well?

do the brake fluid just to better performing fluid. Might as well do SS brake lines and pads as well while ur at it.

So which Motul products will I need to change the fluids on those?

Gear300 for the diff and trans and just pick your favorite for the engine, you need about 4qts to do the trans and diff.

Search. Use it, love it, die by it.

SS brake lines are pretty pointless.

Otherwise, I use Amsoil. Any good oil will work fine though.
