M6 Fluid Change - NPT plug size?
Hi all, I am coming up on 1500 miles and am going to do the oil, rear diff and M6 transmission fluid. I saw an older post that mentioned putting in a plug with a magnet.
My question is what size is the NPT drain plug? I want to get one before starting. Also, I just ordered 2 quarts of GM Part No. 88861800 as I don't see the capacity listed. Is that enough? Thanks everyone, happy driving! |

Drain plug is also the temp sensor not sure how one would go about replacing it?
Trans spec is 3.66 quarts, if draining the entire system (trans plus cooler) 5.2 quarts. When filled, fluid level must be 3.2 mm (1/8 in) below fill hole.

No there is a separate drain plug, per the manual anyway. I however, did use that temp sensor as my drain plug, because it was the easiest to get to. The stock drain is very hard to access due to exhaust pipes.

The drain plug is on passenger side near the rear cross member brace for the trans
