Changing M5 trans fluid?

[beecha91]

Hey guys,

I'm looking to change it tomorrow. I know theres a plug on the bottom of the trans to drain it, but whats the best way to fill it? Thanks

Trans fill

I have a suction gun I bought at the parts store, it looks like a grease gun. I unscrew the top, pull the plunger all the way down, fill the tube with oil, screw the top back on, put the hose in the fill hole and just push the oil in. Repeat until it's filled. Look in your owners manual, it tells you how high the oil should be, like some fraction of an inch below the bottom of the fill hole. I hope you are staying with a good synthetic lube.

If you don't have any other way to fill it you can pop the shifter boot and bezel off and attach a rubber hose to the oil can and just let it gravity feed right into the tranny. Keep a drain pan under it and it will take just over 3 qts to fill.
