So you used M1 75W90 at first? Seems very close to what my manual says.... I might just go with that.


As for the manual trans I changed it out with Royal Purple 5W-20 last weekend. Again, my owner's manual seems to differ from later years. It calls for ATF+4. However, that's not what was in it. Apparently someone had already changed it over to motor oil.
Again, my manual says 5W20.


However, a second person is pretty much a must.
Why?
