MY07 Sti gearbox oil change tools
I'm about to change my gearbox oil. Are any special tools required before I crawl under the car. i.e. What size sockets are the two drain plugs I need to remove?
Thanks,
Ian

Interval on gearbox
Hi John and Matt,
I'm beyond deciding whether it's a good idea or not! I had it changed in May for Silkolene Syn S. The centre diff now groans on lock when warm. So I'm putting Castrol Syntrax in to hopefully cure it!
I wish I'd not changed the factory fit oil as I had no problems with it!
I'd read on here that you need to change the oil anually because of the A-DCCD working the oil harder than a WRX.
So does anyone know the size of the drain plugs or have I got to crawl under to look ;-)

I've been under the car and the job's not done yet. I've not got a T70 torx bit 8-(. You also need a 14mm socket.
