tC 5 Spd Tranny Gear Oil

[TwiztedTC]

as soon as i get my tC im gonna put in some Redline MT-90 gear oil to keep my synchronizers running very smooth from the very beginning of the cars life... just like i will begin my oil changes with Mobil 1 5W30 and run nothing less for the life i have the car.... does anyone know for sure yet how many quarts of gear oil the tC's 5 speed transmission will have??? thanks Dustin

the gts took just under 3 quarts i'm going to assume the same for the tC, but then again the gts tranny was pretty small. my best guess is to look at the camry 5spd for reference.

i'm TRD LiquidSilver over at newcelica. i used mobil synthetic fluid on the gts at 5k and never had syncro problems that everyone complained about, so yes they do work. :D

i doubt that they are the same....but good info...thanks

shouldnt it have a quart amount for both AT & MT in the owner's manual....i figured they make owner's manual's universal for both??? i may be wrong...
