The manual transmission takes about 3.5 quarts. You are supposed to change it about every 30k miles, or sooner if you track the car. I change mine at about 20k.

You _could_ use the same oil in the manual transmission and the rear diff, but it's not recommended. They both use a fairly heavy auto gear oil, but in reality you need two different weights. One for...

Just because it says no maintenance doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. The AT should have a fill and drain like the manual (though the location(s) may be different). For normal every day driving...

It's a really easy job. You need a lug wrench, philips screw driver, and whatever method you prefer for bleeding them (though this is not strictly necessary).

It may not be required to honor your warranty, but flushing your transmission and differential every 30k will go a long way towards helping your car last longer after the warranty has expired.

If you do not drive your car long distances, letting it fully warm up (20 minutes per trip) then your oil eventually becomes heavily contaminated with water. This water comes from the...

That bike is over 100hp and I would not consider it suitable for a beginner. This is why I say I4 600's are a bad idea for beginners. You cannot compare the power output of an inline-4 600 to a twin...
