Just bought a 04 Crossfire with 49k on it. I wanted 2 change the oil and trans fluid 2 put my mind @ ease. I don't have a car manual and was wondering if anyone had suggestions as far as what weight and brand I should use for both.... If this has been posted before I apologize. Oh yea the car is a 6 speed. THANX!!!

I think the tranny comes from the factory with ATFIII, but they usually switch it to synthetic "motor oil" when you take it to the dealer.
I had mine changed at 30k miles, but I actually think it "shifted" better with the "original" ATF fluid.

 

Cool! Thank u both 4 the info. Yea I am kinda undecided about changing the tranny fluid. It seems like I always have 2 shift into second before first or reverse so it will shift smooth? Weird? Been a while since I owned a manual though.......

 

Hate to say it but thats normal!

 

Welcome aboard and you need at least 8 quarts of oil with the filter. I use AMSOIL 5w-40. Congrats and enjoy the ride!

 

It sure is!!! Sometimes its ok , other time shift back to 2nd then 1st

Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride

 

Thanx eveyone! Hope 2 get yall (freekin texas hu?) some pics soon....

 

ATF in the manual trans? that is interesting. I have seen other manual transmissions such as Borg Warner T-5's use ATF becuase the syncros are carbon fiber instead of brass and in those transmissions using motor oil or gear oil is bad and breaks down the syncros.
