(b) Remove the drain plug and gasket to drain the manual transaxle oil.

NOTICE:

The gasket must be replaced with a new one, as this will lead to oil leaks if it is not changed.

HINT:

The drain plug has a groove for draining oil, so oil can be drained by the drain plug loose without removing the drain plug to prevent oil splashing into the surrounding area.

(a) Add manual transaxle oil until the oil level is between 0 and 5 mm (0.197 in.) from the bottom lip of the manual transmission filler plug opening.
