Make sure you screw it far enough that retention plastic tab engages to prevent it from backing off.
Leave engine bottom tray off.
Give bottom of trans and surrounding area a quick wipe down with varsol or another solvent. This will give you a clean grease free surface.
Take car for a quick ride min. 10 minutes or longer then check for leaks etc. then replace engine tray after your satisfied there are no leaks.

When I change my engine oil, I dont use torque wrench at all for my drain plug..will that be an issue?

7.5 capacity does not mean we actually put in 7.5 its whatever we catch in the pans from the drainage correct?

I think you have asked all the questions in regards to this oil change and then some. By continuing to ask more questions, you will get more answers which are going to confuse you and make you ask even more questions. LOL!
You have all the answers, and I understand you are nervous. I suggest you do this with someone a friend or relative that has some automotive experience just to be there for you.
Make sure you do the work, as you go through the steps needed you will see and understand better what everyone has been talking about. After your going to be like, wow that was easy. I stressed out about nothing. Now you will have the confidence to take on more things you may have wanted to do on your car. You will feel a sense of pride having done it yourself and saved some money in the process.
Just work safe and have fun. If for some reason you get stressed out during the process, take a break, grab a drink, go chat with a friend etc. The car will still be there when you get back.

Just called my local dealership and I almost shit my pants when I found out my dealership charges only $142.79 for "2 gallons" of Diaqueen sstf1 I couldnt believe it had to ask them 3 times lmao. Other mitsu dealership in different county charges $162.53 for just 1 gallon. Is this a miracle or what lol.

I traced our Diaqueen fluid back to the base and found this: http://www.blauparts.com/proddetail....od=J1D2111-12B.
Diaqueen is made from a single source of fluid distributed to many company. If you look down the page our stuff, along with VW and other SST trannys, are made by a single company. I bought a box of 12 for around $120 and found the filter on ebay for $80. Changed the oil around 4k miles ago and haven't had a problem yet! Take that dealerships!!
P.s. I just threw in an even 8L and it did not "top off". Everythings good.

I was running the FFL2 fluid for about 12k miles. The shifts in manual sport and normal we're getting very very jerky. Changed back to Diaqueen SSTFI and the shifts are butter
Btw, I purchased the Diaqueen from AWD Motorsports in Florida. They are great guys!
