    Question just to confirm on the manual transmission u don’t need to do the temperature check for fluid level ? Just drain and fill ? Did some research here and all I see is just draining and filling . On the auto requires some temperature check for levels.

    Nope, just drain and refill. Make sure to pull the fill plug first too.

    What previous post wrote, but make sure it is GL-4 grade gear oil for manual transmission. GL-5 will melt brass syncros.

    Correct, MT doesn't heat up the gear oil to the point of affecting volume from thermal expansion. Change MT oil the same way as differential oil - when cold.
