Anyone change M/T 6 spd oil yet?

$ub$onic · Jan 20, 2017

Being a syn or not depends on what you buy

The 2017 is the same sonic under the new skin

DO NOT run conventional gear lubricant in these

I would only use AMSOIL, royal purple, Mobil, redline or other top shelf oils

You need 3 quarts total for m32 6 speed, 2 quarts for the F17 5 speed

I'm doing it Sunday. Anyone post pics of Where to drain and Where to fill???

Google m32 fluid change. Lots of pics. Crack the fill plug loose before you start. It's right down beside the battery. You'll need to double up extensions to reach. Drain plug is drivers side. Both are large hex plugs. Also go buy a long skinny funnel so you can refill.

Yep I just did this last week and it took maybe 20 min. 8mm hex for the fill plug, 10mm hex for the drain plug, super funnel (greater than 1 ft), 3 qts Amsoil Synchromesh (filled to 2.5qts).

My 1-2 grind hasn't come back and I can actually enjoy shifting hard past 5k from 1st to 2nd without any grind.

10mm hex, worked great for the drain plug:

Super funnel used to refill:

Did mine today.
ARE WE SURE THE UPPER NUT IS AN 8MM, OR IS IT A TORX HEAD AND NOT A HEX HEAD?
My torx bit fit, so did the 8mm, but it looked like the nut was damaged, and may have been a torx head all along?

Anyway, changed it out, made a mess as it comes out FAST...

Drives fine, but I still have my whining noise...not sure what it is now.

Good stuff, easy change!

quick question, i have a 2012 6 speed 1.4 turbo is my transmission the M32? refill is 2.5 quarts of synchromesh-type MT fluid i purchased it in amsoil.

just want to double check everything to make sure im correct before i start

ScarabEpic22 · Feb 8, 2017

Anywhere from 2.5-3qts, order 3qts and fill your trans until its full. Mine took a full 3 qts, buddy's 6MT only took 2.5ish.

JBScat · Feb 10, 2017

3qts is too much, 2.5 is the sweet spot.

Okay guys need some advice on this. I just talked to my mechanic about doing this. I know Icould do it easy enough myself, I just dont want to lol. He said to completely flush the tranny it actually takes 12qts. And that 2.5qts sounds like you are just basically replacing the trans oilpan oil and not all the oil throughout the transmission. Is he correct or what? Thanks in advance. Im m32 6 speed btw.

You don't "flush" a manual. It's just a drain and fill. There is no pan on an m32. Just a drain plug. And only 1.5 qts come out when you drain it.

He's thinking about an auto trans with a torque converter then the fluid capacity is much higher.

Doh. Gotcha, i thought i told him it was a 6spd manual but maybe he assumed when he was typing it in the computer.

Shaguardriver · Feb 15, 2017

Nate: as for the whine. Does it whine when it is in gear? 123 or 456? If the nose is still there and stays the same then it may be an early stage wheel bearing.

Is the Mobil 1 LS oil good? It's 75w-90

I'm putting royal purple 75w-90 in it right now! I'll let you know how it performs after ive driven it for a bit.

bbyers77 · Mar 4, 2017

Im a bit confussed here, i see some people are using a 75w-90 and some are using amsoil 5-30 or 10-30 mt fluid. thats a big difference, which one should i use?? I was leaning towards the amsoil but now im not sure thats the correct viscosity.

Durdenss · Mar 4, 2017

I wasn't sure either so i just bit the bullet and did the royal purple, but it didn't seem to help much.

The factory puts in a 70W. I run Amsoil 75W-90. The difference is negligible.

thats what i thought, but i see some people are using amsoil 5w30 sycromesh(sp) that seems way off from the 70w. Maybe someone who knows more about oil viscosity will chime in.

Engine oils and gear oils are measured in different weights.

A 30 weight engine oil is about a 80 weight gear oil.
