Hi Members

49’ Chevy 3100 truck here. What are the specs on oil type for 4 speed manual transmission?. How many much oil would it take if I wanted to change the transmission oil? Thanks.

A lot of info here for you.

Capacity is 5.5 pints. I place the transmission in neutral and remove the shifter for this task, much easier and less mess.

Thinks it’s 6 pints not qts.


The oil spec has been discussed at length prior. These two links pretty much covers it:
