Thats very interesting info Whit - but you have a 6 speed - the synchros are completely different than the 5 speed.

I looked it up on Amsoil's product lookup guide. the recommended GL-4 is "Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Lube 75W-90 API GL-4 (MTG)"; or part number MTGQT-EA.

8.0 pints for the NV4500 and I believe an additional quart if you put the street L (90* pipe fitting) in to raise the oil level a bit. don't remember if it's a quart or pint...I put an additional quart in mine.
