Changed the gear oil today.Hardest part was getting under the car to open the drainplug.Loosened both the filler and drain plug then hand tightened and took the car out to warm up the oil.Opened and drained the oil,as it drained I got an empty gear oil container with a pointed spout .Transferred the Redline MTL oil into the empty container Got a long piece of clear tubing and put one end into the filler from the engine compartment.*MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE DRAIN PLUG IN BEFORE FILLING.Then put the other end of the tubing onto the spout as tight as it would go.You can then fill from the top of the engine compartment. I left the drained oil container under the fill plug opening just in case the tube came off the spout or I overfilled the trans so it would catch it. Squeezed the bottle till it collapse,took the tube off to let air in and repeated till the bottle was empty.Did the same with the MT90.Took a hair more than 2 quarts.Put filler plug back in from the top of the engine compartment (17MM offset box wrench) and closed the hood.I used a crescent wrench for the drain plug but I'm guessing it's a 24MM.
