Just a heads up for people changing their oil. You need to have your car level for proper fill.

My experience: I put the front on ramps and went to jack up the rear. My old jack began failing and i could not get the car fully level. It was close, but the front was visibly higher. I changed the tranny anyways, but my Si only took about 1.4 quarts to full. I knew the specs were 1.6 to full.

Anyways, I drove it for a couple weeks until I got a new jack and I went to top it off tonight. I was low ~.3 quarts.

AGAIN, it must be level to do change!
