standard trannys dont run filters. drain and re-fill and you shouldnt have to worry again unless you have a leak

T5 transmissions use Mercon ATF or you can use Dexron II or III ATF which is equivelent.

Yeah, your t5 is a world class which takes ATF like he said. The non world class 83 and 84 use 70 weight gear oil.
