Royal purple synchromax.

GTO guys love it for their T56. I know different trannies but its a favorite for them and I already checked and we can use it too.

Or at least iirc mahjik said we can and I ALWAYS trust his word.

Ok put the tranny oil in.

It was a HUGE pita using The transfer pump I have since it's huge. Its motorized but tall. About 18" so it was hard to position everything. Nevertheless I got about 2.3, possibly only 2.2 qts in there. I absolutely can NOT get the remainder of the bottle. I was under the car trying all methods. But it kept just leaking, bottle slipping out of my hand etc etc. I wasted about 1/4 of a quart from all this mess. It ended up on the ground, my shirt etc. I smell like rp synchromax lol.

My question is. Am I OK for NOW with just 2.3 qts? Possibly 2.2?

I am just estimating going by how much spilled + how much is left in the bottle. I think there's about 2.2-2.3 qts in the tranny.

I stuck my finger in the fill hole and I felt the oil there though. I used my pointer finger and bent my finger tip downwards and felt the oil right away.

I'd say get a manual pump and squirt a little more in there just to be sure.

If your car was roughly level, your fine.

I jacked the drivers side. Wasn't leveled but obviously not totally off as it was sitting on a jackstand. So maybe 15 degrees?
