I changed my MT fluid this morning. Whoever put that bar there is a sadist. Otherwise it went smoothly. Didn’t even knock over an open bottle of oil while trying to maneuver under the car! (This time.) I did notice that more fluid (few hundred ml) went back in than came out. I didn’t see any signs of leakage so I assume it’s fine. The car was leveled on ramps and jack stands and filled until I got drips.
I used Motul Multi DCTF (claimed to be MTF LT-5 compliant) simply because I’ve had a heck of a time finding OEM fluid. It felt good on a short test drive. I’ve noticed the occasional 4th gear lockout when cold so I figured fresh oil can’t hurt.
