Can anybody tell me how many quarts of oil go in a 6th generation Civic Manual transmission? I can't find my Haynes manual and it is overdue for a change

 

if it helps, i drained out about 2.5 quarts when i did my automatic trans (not all of it comes out if i understand it correctly). Plus i think there is a drain bolt in manual transmissions that removes any extra fluid. You can always measure how much you drained out and fill it back up with that exact amount if you're not sure.

 

Yeah I want to say its 3.2 but its my driver so I cant drain it then go get oil I really dont want to buy more than I need at 20 bucks a qt for royal purple

 

It takes just over 2 quarts. With the car on level ground, use a funnel and hose to fill until it overflows at the fill hole.

 

ok 2 quarts, and any thoughts on brand? I was going to do Royal Purple.

 

best to go genuine...i use HONDA ATF-Z1. when dealing with transmissions it's best to not be cheap.

i'm not sure but i think manual transmissions use a different kind of fluid than automatics.

 

I use regular 10w-30 motor oil in my MANUAL TRANSMISSION, been use motor oil for many years.
