Transmission oil change

[sofrsnsokleen]

is the method for the manual the same for the auto, just more fluid for the auto?

Changed my tranny & diff oil at 6K and honestly was AMAZED at the amount of shit that came out. I am 100% happy I decided to change much earlier then I was originally going to.

Fluid type: API GL-5 Toyota Genuine Differential Gear oil LX, will hold 1.22 quarts and should be inspected every 7.5 months or 7,500 miles.



So in the end the manual and auto fluid is replaced on an inspection based deal, and doesn't last the lifetime

Thanks

Can I use Motul Gear 300 75w90 on the LSD? What fluid would you recommend for LSD? Thanks

Motul 300 works. I'm going to use Amsoil Severe gear 75w90. Manual says any fluid meets GL-5 spec should be good.

any good deals on motul gear 300? thanks

Yes, because Motul Gear 300 is a GL4/GL5 class gear oil, I'm pretty sure the oil weight doesn't effect the LSD as much as you think.

Sorry wish I had more free time to help you

Supposedly tells you when to shift for max fuel efficiency.

Even 80s vettes with the doug nash 4+3 had that stupid eco shift thing, albeit now its way way way better

I do believe it is only one single feature.

How much is that in liters? I want to do LSD oil change as well as transmission with motul gear 300 but I want to make sure how much I have to order

[roddy]

One quart = 946ML or .946 of a liter.

I'm not sure what you mean...if you mean the cover gasket, you don't need one to drain/fill the fluid. If you mean the drain/fill plug gaskets, the dealer should have them in stock for a buck or two each.
