Default tC 5 Spd Tranny Gear Oil

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.

where you a member at newcelica.org?
