    Changed the gear oil today.Hardest part was getting under the car to
    open the drainplug.Loosened both the filler and drain plug then hand
    tightened and took the car out to warm up the oil.Opened and drained the
    oil,as it drained I got an empty gear oil container with a pointed spout
    Transferred the Redline MTL oil into the empty container Got a long
    piece of clear tubing and put one end into the filler from the engine
    compartment.*MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE DRAIN PLUG IN BEFORE FILLING.Then put
    the other end of the tubing onto the spout as tight as it would
    go.Squeezed the bottle till it collapse,took the tube off to let air in
    and repeated till the bottle was empty.Did the same with the MT90.Took a
    hair more than 2 quarts.Put filler plug back in from the top of the
    engine compartment (17MM offset box wrench) and closed the hood.I used a
    crescent wrench for the drain plug but I'm guessing it's a 24MM.

    It's what I had on hand from my Nissan hardbody.I called Redline aand
    they said it would be fine,but NOT to use the 75-90 gear oil I had
    instead.
