The previous owner of my car kept putting gear oil in the T5 and wondered why he kept having to have it rebuilt. I was a bit surprised myself when I learned the T5 took ATF, but I didnt make the same mistake he did :mick: I was smart enough to ask the builder

I did a test a while back...it doesnt matter if the vehicle is level or not. level reads the same either way:mick:
