If I remember correctly, the fill side is on the passenger side and the overflow is on the driver's side. Something like that.Is the MT sealed just like the AT? I thought the overflow was on the side and the fill was around the top.
Usually folks say to change the fluid at 100,000 miles but that seems to be a bit long. I'm going to change mine at 80,000. I have about 78,000 miles in my car and I have about 2,000 miles left and then it's time for a change. I will give feedback when I change to the Amsoil Signature Series one.I am probably still going to use the fluid from the dealer. Even with my wife's Honda (now my daughter's as my wife just bought an Elantra GT) I would buy the OEM fluid for the fluid changes. Automatics can be very tricky in my view. Maybe I am wrong. I still have almost 20k miles to go before I have to change my fluid so I hope others comment in the meantime.
Caused mine to shift all loosey goosey. it works, just not ideal.The one fluid that I have not seen listed here is the Type-J. Out 5AT is a Jatco. Yes, as in Nissan. I get the Type-J at Napa and it cost about $5.00 a quart. I have just under 165,000 on mine and recommend the 60,000 mile drain and fill.
