Manual trans oil capacity
I replaced my manual transmission oil today (88 N/A) with Royal Purple. The FSM says 2.1 quarts, so I bought 3 bottles (1 qt each). When i filled it back up it took pretty much all 3 bottles and the level didn't feel like it was up to the bottom of the fill hole. Has anyone else had this happen? Is the FSM capacity wrong? Am I an idiot? lol

Did you have the car tilted when you filled it up?

I believe the non-turbo is 2.1 while the turbo is 2.6.
I got 3 bottles a well, and filled it with all of them and it still wasn't even with the fill hole. I'm pretty sure the car wasn't even though. It also sprayed some fluid out when filling it. I used aaron cake's air-pressurize filling method and the hose popped out a few times (tranny fluid in the eyes is NOT FUN.) Other than that it worked gread, though.

note on using an air compressor to pump the oil in: DO NOT forget to adjust the pressure regulator first if you use a real air compressor- Those bottles WILL explode if you get more than about 30psi in them, and its not fun. I used my buddy's compressor which i didnht realize the adjustment **** was broken on, and I lost a $10 quart of oil all over myself and my shop floor, as well as my hearing for about an hour.
also, neither of those things you guys got on you is anything compared to brake fluid...got some up my nose one time and damn near had to go to the hospital.
