M6 oil change
If anyone has done this and can remember, how much fluid does a M6 oil change take. I drained mine (about 3 quarts) and put in 3 quarts, that brought it to the fill plug hole. The manual says 4.1 quarts for an overhaul, but doesn't say how much for the change. Is it possible that there is room for one more quart that doesn't get drained when you pull the drain plug?

that's about how much I used 2 years ago. probably other amount is laying in bottom of case just as long as it is at the top of the fill plug it shold be OK, but to dilute all the old you could drain again and refill after a few miles

Doing mine right now, it usually takes just under 4 quarts. I let mine drain a while and usually tilt the car towards the back to maximize how much comes out. I then level the car for re-fill.

Take the fill plug out first, its on the drivers side half way up the side of the trans.
The drain plug is on the other side near the back
A pump like this is a must
I should have lifted the front to drain a bit more out - next time.
