i have two on 02 sti but that is a 6 speed,one 14 mm bolt on what looks like a sump and one 21 mm bolt under front diff,they both drain oil so i undid the two and wouldnt have got all oil out with only the one.i used castrol syntrax and has improved the gearchange loads.

i drain bolt on the classics. a lot of people including me rate castrol syntrax driveline for the gearbox. very good for dealing with syncro crunches.
i put some cheap comma oil in the diff as its not as important.
