Changing the fluid in the T-45. I was gonna buy Mobil full sythetic, but they didnt have enough... so I ended up getting Advanced Auto brand (yeah, I know) Dexron/Mercon-III non synthetic fluid. It was pretty much all they had.
Will that work, or should I take it back and wait for the Mobil?
read what the bottle says on the advance... thats is the EXACT same stuff as it says "compare to" also if you buy the "bendix" brake pads over Wearever Golds your dumb... they are made in the SAME machine w/ the SAME material... only differnce is the freakin box... all of Advance stuff is like that... but personally i would just goto another advance and get the rest of the oil.

I drained about 3.5 quarts out, and it took almost 4 quarts before it started to spill out of the fill hole, then I put the plug back in. So there may be a little bit of extra fluid in there? Will it hurt it to slightly overfill it?
Feels like it shifts a little more smooth now. The stuff that came out was a dark dark red, looked kinda old.

my 00 GT took slightly more than 3 quarts of oil. As long as it's mercon approved, the oil is fine. If you can get the synthetic, get it. Manuel tranny fluid isn't AS important as auto tranny fluid though. don't stress over it.
