You’ll need a hand pump to get the oil out no drain plug. Says to fill until full. I did mine at 90k and looked like it was needed.
Thanks for the info! I think I'll be going with the Red Line fluid, so I'll be ordering two bottles of it tomorrow. I just need to make sure my car doesn't have an LSD (which I doubt, but just to be sure) since the previous owner was a petrol head. When you performed the service, how did you raise the car? Was it level, or is that pretty much negligible?
