Hi All, I spent an arduous morning doing the above oil change.
Phew! To get to the filler plug is horrendous. Battery removal was time consuming. Finally at the filler hole and disconnect one of the two gear linkages.
Underneath, easy-peasy. In the attached video the dude removed his cross member. I didn't, as I used a slimmer long socket. Duh!
I would say that about 1.5 litres came out, looking brown, as in the video. No metal filings on the magnet topped plug, but a layer of grunge. I put back 2.2 litres of this stuff.
I am aware that manufactures do not fill tranny boxes to spec fill. Seen it before. They might save half a litre on each car, but if they make 100,000, then that's 50,000 litres!
Took the RCZ for a spin, and yes the shifts are smoother and more precise. It is the precision that I noticed and liked the most. THP200 has just turned over 52,000 klicks (32,500 miles).
