Transmission Oil Change

[thorracing271]

WELL! Instead of flooding the "What have you done to your p5 today?" Thread I decided to make my own. I just recently hit 100xxx miles and decided to undergo this challenge and I have a few questions left.

In the great state of CA....

#1
Mobile 1 syn = 8.99
Royal Purple= 18.99

Is it really worth the extra money?

#2
The drain bolt is the one facing straight down...while the filler bolt is slightly slanted with some wires next to it correct?

#3 I dont have a fluid pump available at school, I figured cutting the top of a bottle, and then shoving a tube to the top and running that to the fill hole will work just fine correct?

#4 Does anyone have the link to that PDF file of our service manual and parts book?

THANKS!

are you auto or stick?
if its stick you wont need a pump, its just drain and fill.

auto then yea u'll need the pump cause most of your fluids will be in the torque converter which i dont think will be sucked out with the bottle method...

and if you want the pdf file here is the link

the filler is not the one that has wires on it. the one that youve seen is the electrical switch for the backward lights. i'ts a 23mm a little upper in the front side of the transmission. 2-3 liters. can't miss it.
