Reply To: Which Transmission Oil?

[Richard Kirshy]

Your requirement is according to the owners manual:
MANUAL TRANSAXLE
Oil capacity, L (qt., Imp. qt.):
1.9 (2.0, 1.7)
Oil type:
Gear oil API GL−4 or GL−5
GL-5 is fine if it states that it’s yellow metal safe. A lot of GL-5 is not yellow metal safe and will ruin the synchros over time. GL-4 is most commonly used and is safe
