So you want engine and manual transmission? You can run 5 1/2 Quarts of 5W-30 because its colder and it'll lubricate the top end faster then 10W-30 but thats what is "reccomended". As for manual transmission fluid 4 Quarts of Red line or any 10W-30/40 Oil....Id reccomend Royal purple to protect your gears/synchros the best.

Actually you could run both if you wanted to. any oil you prefer 10W-30 for the engine. and I would reccomend Royal Purple 10W-40 for your AX-15.

Engine-10W-30 5 1/2 Quarts

AX-15-10W-40 4 Quarts

Ummm, owners manuals will tell you these answers. Or the good people at your local parts store (where you go to buy this ****) they also know. Or even google it...
