Changed the oil 1.5 year later and with approx. 100 miles on the oil. Oil had a dark honey color and no signs of sludge. 5 quarts came out and 5 quarts went in. Was going to install a magnetic drain bolt, but figured this would mess with the temps per 16SportZ.

While under the car, I noticed that there was clutch fluid collecting in the bottom engine tray instead of leaking inside the tranny bell like I originally thought.

On a side note, Castrol apparently discontinued Magnatec, so switched to Castrol Edge. Given that not all the oil will be drained from the engine and with a bit left over inside, I'm assuming it's okay to have a different type of oil mix with the residual oil in the engine?
