Posted May 19, 200519 yr comment_124493 Hi all,I have the tranny out of my 240z (an '83zx 5sp) and want to change out all of the oil. I've seen a couple different capacity levels listed for filling.Is 3 1/8 pints an accurate capacity level for refilling?thanksBill OakesLibertyville, IL Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15967-oil-capacity-on-83-zx-5sp-tranny/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 19, 200519 yr comment_124502 As long as you have enough gear lube on hand, just fill the tranny until it comes out the fill plug hole...just like filling a differential. I believe the FSM provides transmission lube capacities.

May 20, 200519 yr Author comment_124619 True, true - as long as you apply the 20/20 rule (20ft at 20mph) it looks great!Now to just get it all back together!-Bill Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15967-oil-capacity-on-83-zx-5sp-tranny/#findComment-124619 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 25, 200519 yr comment_125066 The manual says 4 1/4 pints or a little more than 2 quarts. (2 liters!) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15967-oil-capacity-on-83-zx-5sp-tranny/#findComment-125066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 25, 200519 yr Author comment_125089 That seems to be right - I've seen a few different listings.I filled it up a couple days ago and two quarts seemed to do it - thanks!-Bill Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15967-oil-capacity-on-83-zx-5sp-tranny/#findComment-125089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
