Subject:How much oil?
Date:Tue, 17 Mar 2015 22:05:07 -0700

So last weekend I changed the transaxle oil on my 87 Syncro for the first
time.  Bentley says 4.7 quarts, but only 3.2 quarts if just draining and
refilling.  And Bentley also mentions not to fill a 5 speed transaxle to
ease shifting, but no mention about under filling for the Syncro transaxle.
After putting in 3 quarts, I can't feel any oil inside the fill hole.  I
put in a fourth quart and can "feel" the oil about a half inch below the
fill hole.  I'm guessing I could put another half quart in.  So how much
should I really put in?
