use 5w30 syth engine oil and you will never ever have to worry about changing for the entire life of the vehicle. there is a drain plug at the bottom of the trans and a fill plug on the side of the trans. that's where you take out the fluid and install the fluid.
Thanks for the info. I had thought the same thing that it was IMPOSSIBLE for a manual transmission to slip. Should I use 5w30 full synthetic oil? I am wondering as to why I would never ever have to worry about changing for the entire life of the vehicle as it is motor oil, and it does break down over time with useage plus it also has a time span on it also? Just courious.
