Answers:

1. Bullsh*t. The Jiffylube idiot doesn't know what they're talking about.
75W90 is fine for the manual transmission
2. Redline, Amsoil, or whatever you like. Just make sure it's for a manual
transmission.

Subject: DML: Man Trans Fluid

Went to the local Jiffy Lub to ahev my 3k Mobil-1 change and was told I am
due for the Manual Transmission fluid change (1st one). 2 -questions:

1. They told me they were unable to change the fluid due to it's
specs.....they said the fluid was probably a dealer only item. Is this true?

2. If there is an alternate, better fluid I can use for my V6 5-speed (ie
synthetic), can anyone recommend one that will work with my Dak.

Thanks
