30K throttle service - Toyota Yaris Forums

What do you do at 11:00 pm on a Saturday night? Why change your manual transmission oil!

So, I got bored and decided it was time to change the tranny oil. I ended up using Royal Purple Max-Gear 75w-90. Besides stopping to take pictures (DIY coming soon) it was really pretty easy. 2 quarts of oil out, 2 quarts in. Before I changed the oil I drove around the block to warm up the oil for easier removal, and the gears were grinding a bit, a problem I have had for awhile. After putting in the new oil. It is hard to describe how smooth the changes are. I am looking forward to Monday morning and my normal work commute to really see the difference.

As I said I will put up a DIY sometime this week to help others out. Honestly, it is almost as easy as changing the normal motor oil.
