Subject:Manual Transmission Fill
From:Ben Cichowski

Hi all,

I'm finding conflicting information on the oil capacity of a manual
transmission (88 Vanagon). I thought Bentley says 3.2 Quarts, but I have
seen several posts stating 4.5 quarts. Is this just a difference between
filling it to  9/16" below the plug vs. filling all the way up to the plug?

Just wanting to know how many quarts I need to buy - 4 or 5.

Also, are we mostly agreed that Redline MT-90 is the way to go...or am I
opening up another "tire-esque" thread?

Cheers,
-Ben (in tropical Montana...its nearly 50 F today???)
