Found out the other day the MT trannies need 4 quarts. I only have 3 in mine. I have redline synthetic MT-90, but i really dont wanna go ordering more. Is it ok to mix tranny fluid? Like if i got some matching amsoil MT fluid would i be fine?

how did you measure the amount of fluid in your tranny?

1 quart of MT fluid poured in = 1 quart of fluid in the tranny.



3 x 1 quart bottles = 3 quarts in tranny.



Filled all the way up to the lower hole, but still a ways from the top hole. I heard that you wanna fill it up to the top fill plug.

no local speed shops to get another quart of redline?



its not like its super secret special stuff

TheCamel 02-02-2004 10:53 PM

order it online, car is going to be down for a while when you pull the injectors anyways

**** it, throw some gas in, it works as good as MT fluid.



obviously, im lying. The local R&S even sells redline nowadays, surely somewhere in oklahoma they sell it.

What's R&S?



Also, we really don't have any speedshops. We have a "speedshop" but when it comes down to it all they do is specialize in decals, window tinting, and more stickers. Their card reads "High Performance Auto Accessories - Decals & Window Tint." And they overprice everything by 30% at least. They quoted me 90 bucks for a 2 1/16th inch autometer sport comp boost gauge.

gauges are expensive, 90 is cheap compared to the $200+ ones.



R&S is a generic auto parts store.



You might have pepboys, autozone, STS, or numerous others.

Well, i see that same boost gauge for average 50-60 bucks online is the thing. I wanted to go order parts from them because theyre local and i don't like ordering internet stuff but even after shipping internet is still oodles cheaper on just about everything.



I checked autozone and o'reillys and pep boys, they only have amsoil synthetic stuff. I found some redline for 10 bucks a quart on some impreza store though. How much does that stuff usually go for?

1Revvin7 02-02-2004 11:18 PM

It won't matter, same goes for different weight engine oil.
