2012 Skyactiv Manual Transmission Fluid Capacity

[Milan96]

Hi guys, got my 2012 a few weeks ago. It has 116K on it atm and I'm bringing to it Jimmy on Wednesday for a fluid change with redline MTL. My question is regarding the fluid capacity. The manual states that I'll need just under 2 quarts of fluid for the Skyactiv manual, but from searching online, apparently some people used almost 3 quarts on the Skyactiv manual and went as far as claiming the owners manual was wrong. Just wanted everyone's thoughts on this and if I should buy 2 or 3 quarts. Thanks in advance

PS, my thoughts are that the people who used almost 3 quarts did not have the vehicle level when doing so, so it took more than it was supposed to (I've seen this happen in the past)

I dunno, but I'll be at Jimmy's on Wednesday too in the morning. Maybe see you there.

I don't understand what's so funny. Redline is a pain to get and I would rather buy the right amount and not have to return an extra bottle...

Sometimes ppl like to laugh at their own jokes.

The manual states 1.74 U.S. qt for your transmission, therefore all you need to purchase is 2 qts...Which is how Redline is sold, in qts.
