Default From what I understand its a simple drain/fill but...
you need a 17mm hex socket and a triple square. I bought both of these and was planning on doing mine soon. In fact, I was going to pick up Redline Gear Oil while I'm at Curry's getting Dyno'ed tomorrow. Maybe we can hook up and do it together. A few others might want to, also.

Thanks for the great writeup. Where did you get the fluid transfer pump?

Default Great write-up...one thing to add.
Remove the fill plug before removing the drain plug.

It would suck to drain the oil out only to find you can't remove the fill plug!

welcome. I think it was Harbor Freight. I know it only cost me about $10. Try Pepboys also.

Default haha, good point. Nothing worst than draining the car and finding out the fill plug can't be remove
At that point, one will have to tilt the car 90 degrees

Default Oh, no, not Harbor Freight. I want to do the change in the next 2 weeks.
They probably wouldn't have even shipped my order by then. Can't beat their prices, though.
