I noticed in the shop manual the VTM-4 in the 02 models takes about 5% less fluid (2.79 qts. vs. 2.95 qts.)

So, either :

1) The case is slightly smaller
2) They moved the filler hole lower.
3) Something inside is slightly larger.
4) They are allowing for spillage when checking the level.

or, the more likely(?)....


It was always 2.79 quarts and they just caught the error...

PS Actually, I'd bet it is 2.95 for a 'dry fill' and 2.79 as a change?

Those sneaky engineers!!!
..and I thought it was an additional weight savings measure.

Yeah, I'll bet a engineer lost sleep over that little discrepancy for the last year....
