Default Oil for a T5 gearbox?

What grade oil are you supposed to put in a T5???

From memory they have a capacity of about 2.5 litres?? Is this right?

Cheers,

Doug.

theyre supposed to have Dextron 2 in them , however, i reckoned that this shit oil was contributing to poor gear changes and even missed gears , so a few weeks ago i changed over to Motul 75/90 fully synthetic gear oil and did notice a change in the gearboxes performance .
so thats my tip for the day folks !
