On a side note...I want to change the manual transmission fluid. The OE fluid is very notchy/stiff when cold. Any recommendations there? I've gathered that I should stick with a GL4 lube, even thought the manual says I can use GL4 or GL5.
I'll vote M1 5w30 EP as I believe bullwinkle has had success in his XB with it
Good enough for me
