Done today

Changed Engine oil and Transmission to Amsoil Synthetic.

Interestingly, I got about 1.7L in, Amsoil's site says the capacity is 1.5L.

It does shift better.

Here is a hint, drive up the front on ramps, then jack up the back until level (About 4-6") ... your rear tires will still be in the ground, so you parking brake still keeps everything nice and solid.


I checked the level of the car with a level and the level was perfect

Mine was also way overfilled from the factory, and it smelled really gross. It was a clear yellowish color. I wonder if they pissed in it
