dawarriorman Posted November 10, 2005 Report Posted November 10, 2005 1.5 liters, little less than 1.5 quarts. You should be fine with the oil your using, although most people would say there are better things to use. I use ATF type F, and my tranny feels like butter. Quote
banshee_08 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Posted November 10, 2005 i have enough oil in there but its still actin up so im gonna try the 80 weight and she what she does thnx guys Quote
Rooster Posted November 10, 2005 Report Posted November 10, 2005 If you've got a metal to metal sound coming from the trans you're just hiding the problem if you're going to change oils until it goes away. Have it looked at ASAP. Wouldn't you rather spend a few bucks getting it fixed now before it grenades your engine case and/or transmission gears? This isn't the time to get cheap. Rooster Quote
banshee_08 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Posted November 10, 2005 it only does it every once in a while mostly on hot days and when i run the shit out of it Quote
