Changing Tranny Oil How?
You'll need 2.2L of oil
The Hyundai Fill for Life MT-90 stuff is pretty good. Unless you've got a crazy setup engine wise, this is all you need.
Can't seem to paste the link from HMA, just create an account, then go to the "Shop" tab
CLick on Tib and your year
Click on trannys near the bottom
Click on Manual Tranny
Then there is a link to "Change your oil"
Or I'll cut and paste best I can
------------------------------
REPLACEMENT OF TRANSAXLE GEAR OIL
With the vehicle parked on a level surface, remove the drain plug and drain the transaxle oil.

/\ dont think thats goona be a problem look at the royal purple container, its like a squirt bottle. i got three quarts (came today :-)) and if it looks like its still gonna be hard, tho i dunno why, ill hop on the bus and go to autozone/walmart... thanks tho
Sorry to bump this with my noob questions - but how do you reach that drain plug? I don't see how you could reach it from above, but to reach it from below, I would need to jack up the car, but if I do that, the car won't be level as webtech says.
Also, is it easy to refill it directly from the Royal Purple bottle or should I buy that pump thingy (doesn't look like there's a lot of room there either)?
Thanks!

To drain the old oil you HAVE to jack it up. It has to be level when you are checking the level of the oil but not when you drain it. If i remember correctly, i think its a 19mm bolt.
To refill i always use a cone with a hose that come in a set. You can buy them at any local auto shop store.
