Transmission Oil
5-speed Transmission
Check the oil level a couple of
minutes after shutting off the engine
with the car sitting level. Remove the
transmission filler bolt (located next
to the left axle). The oil level should
be up to the edge of the bolt hole.
Feel inside the bolt hole with your
finger. If you do not feel any oil,
slowly add oil until it starts to run out
of the hole. Reinstall the filler bolt
and tighten it securely.
Only use an SF or SG grade motor
oil, with a weight of 10W-30 or
10W-40.
The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new oil every 24
months or 30,000 miles (48,000 km),
whichever comes first.
