should my car be level when reoplacing M/T fluid

[Oja]

ordered Honda m/T fluid so if i jack up the front end and drain fluid is it alright to replace fluid till it pours out and levels off then let it down some tips would be appreciated ty

[GenDBlade]

car should always be level when working on it

Level would be best. For an accurate reading when you check the fluid afterward.

when i swapped my oil for some Redline oil, I was only able to put about 1.75 qts in. The manual said 2 qts for a drain/refill but it didn't quite do the 2. I was using a siphon pump to put it in there.

When i filled my swapped tranny, I went through the breather tube with two quarts.

I always put 3 quarts in through the breather hole.

I always put 3 quarts in through the breather hole.

is that safe? i've ALWAYS read that you're supposed to put it in through the fill hole (with the car level) and add until it overflows through that hole (which is usually 2 quarts +/- a little bit)

sorry i thought it was auto not stick .. i was wrong i had a lot of beer sorry

According to the honda manual it says put in fluid untill its spilling out basically. So its level with the bottom of the fill plug.

My fill bolt was stuck! So I put it in thru the vent tube on top. Goes to the same place

jack the left side to drain all the oil out. then drop it, jack the right side. pour 3 quarts in.

isn't three quarts for autos? Haynes and i think even that link at the top about fluids even says two for manuals.
