How to add oil to my new y8 tranny? HELP!
Hey everyone I just swapped a y8 tranny on my car replacing the z6. I need to put oil in the tranny now and never have done it. I was wondering what is the best place to put the oil in it and easiest? I see there a sensor on top of the trannny that will unscrew with a 19mm and has a harness that hooks right were my 02 sensor hooks. can I poor the oil in this hole? also how much oil should I put in it? and last would gtx 10w 30 oil be ok to put in it? Let me know what you think guys. Thanks! Nick
(I will post pics of my new turbo setup later today)

ok, for the noobie..........
remove the VSS unit, fill with 2 quarts of 10w30 engine oil or Pennzoil Synchromesh) Replace VSS and have fun.
You need info on how to change the oil filter also?

does it not have the bolt on the side that drains the oil and then the bolt above that? I fill my tranny oil with that upper bolt. its either a 17mm or 19mm. You fill it up till it overflows then put the plug back in.

use the top side fill hole. get a funnell w/ a hose attached to it and fill that way. you don't want more oil than that level. if you overfill it it wall seep past your inputshaft bearing and soak your clutchdisk/flywheel. you don't want to do that. jiffy lube likes to fill it the otherway and screwed up a clutch of mine that way.

I just did it on the side of the tranny. Was very very easy. Thanks for the help guys but to anyone I would just recommend doing on the 17mm plug on the side. I picked up a little thing from wal-mart that has a hose and funnel thing on it made it 100% easier and was only $2.95.
Thanks everyone for the help! -Nick
