It goes in the dipstick hole under/next too the TMIC ( on classic JDMs anyway! ). Yes, really!
Nice job!

Castrol syntrax is ok, some special stuff - redline shockproof? - is supposed to be really good but is really expensive!

Search the forums for more answers.

I've got syntrax in mine and it works like a dream, cleared up alot of problems i was having with the original GB fluid in it.

and yes a long funnel and about half an hour helps!
