So just give me a brand name and what kind am not sure if it says like 10w-40 like motor oilUse automatic transmission fluid Dextron III. The T5 service manual called for Dextron II, but it has been superseded by Dextron III. The brand doesn't matter much as long a you use a good quality major name brand product. Avoid the house brand stuff from the auto parts chain stores if you can.
Synthetic fluid matching the Dextron III specs is OK, but is much more expensive. It may not make much difference in a T5 that is in good shape.
DO NOT use gear oil. The clearances between the bearings under the gears is too close to get proper lubrication with thick gear oil.
That's what she said. But yeah. I agree with him. It is near impossible to over fill it.As long as you leave the fill plug open, it won't overfill. The plug is positioned at the top of the fill level, so any excess just drains out on your floor, or in your ear, whichever comes first.

I wouldn't say that. I know someone who filled through the shifter, never removed the top fill plug and just kept filling it until it was into the shifter area. Then slapped the shifter on it and drove.
It poured fluid out of the vent hole when he drove around
Haha. That's why you keep a towel handy.

You have to get more creative on a forum that automatically blocks the more versatile words in your vocabulary.
