manual or automatic transmission?

Gear oil you just take off the differential cover let it drain out put it back on with permatext and then fill it back up from the fill plug on top, manual transmission just take out the drain plug of the transmission pan drain, put it back in and put the fluid in the fill plug or can take out the shifter inside the car and dump it in from there which is easier...

Only use royal purple if you drive the car hard alot. If you don't Mobil 1 will do fine.

It's in your manual for the car. It should also be on the oil cap.

It'll be fine, but seafoam might free up some extra sludge in there if you want to use that.
