What am I doing wrong? I kno its not leveled but I figured if I drain it and jacked the driver side it would be no problem. Last time I had 4 jacks and still took about 1.4 qts. WTH am i doing wrong??
You don't say what your car is, but based on a 2006 Si, the 5 spd takes 3.0 Pints or 1.5 qts, the 6 Spd uses 3.2 PINTS.
