oil viscosity depends on temperature in the winter/summer if is extremely cold like some of those towns out in Utah you guys are from us the 80 weight, to get it in I find it easies to pull the stick shift and pour it in from the top with the level plug out or use a cheap drill pump.

Buy a little plastic transfer hand pump. Less than 10$. It just screws onto the quart. I highly recommend that you use Redline MTL. I believe that it is 75W90 but no matter, it is the best manual transmission lube in the world. It will greatly improve shift quality and lower temps as well. Not to mention virtually eliminate wear.
