Changed transmission oil to RP Synchromax
No problem with the change, but, what is interesting is that I drained about 3.85 quarts out of it.

How much were you able to put it? I believe it’s 4 was right?
How does shifting feel after?

3.65 is ‘full’. Manual is pretty excitable about not overfilling.
It states to fill until level reaches 1/8” from fill port. Or...fill until it weeks out and then remove 8oz.

I wasn't concerned about measuring what I used to refill. I followed the manual and filled until it just reached the overflow point, then extracted several ounces until the level was about 1/8" below the fill opening. However, I estimate I put back in around 3.75 quarts. The shifting might be a little smoother, but not by much. This transmission has always shifted OK for me, but, I shift pretty casually most of the time. Main reason for the change is I prefer RP oils. Next is to switch the differential over to RP. --KLG--

Good to know. I'm switching over to that fluid here in the next month or so, along with a lot of other fluids.

switched mine out last month. been really great. Some claim the "notchy feeling" will go away, as I havn't really experienced any difference (maybe on colder mornings) other than that. I like it. capacity is pretty explicit
