Hey guys i wondering if the is a substitute for the the 12 point filler plug in the s4 manual trans? because 30 bucks for that tool is rape. Also what are good oils for the trans and diff?

You can give it a shot with a standard allen.

You should be able to get a set of 5 triple-square bits from your local tool store for $10. Worth it to have in your arsenal. Just be sure you clean the bolt head out and make sure the bit is fully seated in the bolt so that neither the bolt nor the tool strip out.

I recommend Motul 300 synthetic in both trans and diff.
