I know it's been asked a million times but what fluid and how much for a 6 speed manual gearbox and the differential for a 2012 Grand Sport coupe.

Don't mean to bust your chops, but instead of throwing out this question & then getting multiple answers of dubious validity, why don't you look in the "Capacities" section of your Owner's Manual? And if you don't have one, do a 'net search for an electronic copy.....the computer is your friend!

Maybe that's the reason it's been posted a million times - they didn't look in their owner's manual either.

Differential fluid on the left; manual trans fluid on the right. Suggest you stay away from anything that says "DEX III compatible" and use only this REAL DEX III. Amazon sells both and prob the best deal.

BTW - it can become confusing if you're "searching" the forum for additional info. The DIFF fluid is COMPLETE as pictured and needs NO modifiers. Older versions DID require a friction modifier, this one does not.

hold on now, how is it when I say the very same thing the forum engineers are screaming for me to be banned because I'm rude, or did not add content to the post of fifty others mostly involving hand holding?

Because you don't say the very same thing. You DO mean to "bust people's chops".
