AMSOIL - Synthetic Synchromesh Transmission Fluid (MTF) 5W-30 (http://www.amsoil.com/StoreFront/mtf.aspx)

Drain the transaxle, after it reaches normal operating temperature. Use a long-neck funnel to add 60 oz. of fluid. Torque drain plug to 29 ft-lbs and 17 mm filler plug to 33 ft-lbs. It's important to use a manual synchromesh transmission fluid, in order to not damage the synchros. Current 10W-30 engine oils, because of the elimination of ZDDP, no longer offer nearly enough protection.
