How much oil in tranny?
I searched around the threads and found 2 answer. 2.7 and 3.2 quarts. How much quarts of tranny oil do I need to buy? Also is it true that the Redline MTL 70w80 is better than AMSOIL MTG 75w90 since it's less viscous than AMSOIL so more free flowing?

2.7 +, best way to do it is fill untill it starts gushing out the fill hole, make sure the car is leveled when filling.
there are many threads explaining the pros and cons of red line and AMSOIL.
ill point a few right off the bat , AMSOIL MTG is fully synthetic, Red line is not , Mitsu reccomends at least a 90W not an 80W there are many reasons why you need to ensure there is a good cushion between the gears specially is your car is not at stock horsepower even more of a reason to make sure you have the right protection.

I'm considering trying a MTG-MTL blend myself to see if I can improve cold performance. I've been running the MTG for 1.5 years, through two winters with temps dipping below 0* F though, and doesn't bother me too much. Even in the coldest temps I've seen, it's only a few minutes before things are warmed up and smooth. I'm really pleased with the stuff overall.

"Better" is subjective. The AMSOIL MTG is a heavier weight lube than stock at 75w-90 and requires more time to reach operating temperature. While it's cold it does require more shifting effort, but once at operating temps it shifts much smoother than the stock stuff. AMSOIL also sells their own MTL that is 75w-80, so if you're concerned about the warm-up time you could go with that instead, or run a blend of the two.

The spec for the stock fluid is 75w-80 NOT -90.
