Ok watson, listen to this.

I am the searcher of all searchers. Also, I have the haynes manual AND the FSM. If I ask a question its because I couldn't find the answer, or the answers I got did not convince me. My cousin told me 2 quarts, Haynes says nothing, Mazda dealer told me 3.2l and members here told me 3 to 4....Turns out my cousin was right.

Did you not notice absolutly no-one told me to search, but you? What does that tell you?

Dont go all Phoenix on me.

Dont tell me to search.

Thank you.

I wasn't trying to be an ***, just saying if you don't have one you really should get one.
I'm with him. STFU.

From the S4 FSM Ch. 7a Manual Transmission under item Specifications:


Your Haynes will have capacities at the beginning of the Manual Transmission chapter under the heading Capacities and other Specifications.

Its not a question of "IF" if you get pwned, but a question of "WHEN" you will be pwned.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if you were missing that page in your Haynes, some of mine are already loose and all it'd take is a good gust of wind to lose em heh.

This is just theory but you may only be able to get 2 in there because of residual oil in the tranny. From what I understand it is basically impossible to purge a transmission of all the previous oil.

I know my Haynes is missing all the pages that are actually ESSENTIAL for doing anything with the car. What a waste...

Well, went to try my car with the MT-90. Let me tell you, its a whole lot better, but still not perfect. I still need to push hard on it for it to go in properly. Guess Its just something I'll have to get used to. Or maybe it'll just break in someday. At least I dont have to fight with the bitch for it to go in.
