Would prefer the redline products, but some people are reporting the MT90 is no good, others say something else. Sounds like the 50/50 mix is working ok.
Now for diff, I still am left up in the air now as well, after seeing some people say the redline diff fluid is no good either.
Anyone running anything they REALLY like alot???

I think that the tranny only takes a lilltle bit more than 3 QT and I want to keep the proportions of the two equal. What should I do?

I've ordered mine for MT and differential. Can not wait to replace them.

Anyone use Mobil 1 75w 90 synthetic for diff oil? I have an open diff but I'd like to see what people use.

Just did mine last weekend. 50/50 redline mix seems to be working great, I am pleased. The fluid I pulled out of both the trans and lsd seemed fairly clean which was good I guess. Very pleased with the end results -- no issues to report. Now clutch fluid and coolant is next on my list.

ok im an auto noob when it comes to hands on experiance, i understand everything just need some clarification before i go and screw something up. Ok is the tranny and diff housed seperatly or are they in the same casing. car is 2003 bout 33k miles never had tranny fluid replaced so i bought 4q of redline fluid which they reccomended. I understand i drain and then use suction gun to refill, but i dont get where the differential comes into play? Is it just teh same procedure just a different location or same thing wtf. Please helpage thanks

Also i have after market headers, and have noticed the car shifts ok when colder but once it gets warm its gets clunky and notchy not grinding at all, redline fluid has a high heat tolerance and should cope with it better right? Also does the added heat from headers effect clutch, clutch master cyl or the fluid line? After a while the clutch seems to get wierd i dont know how to explain it like a spongy feeling

Can I drain both oils together into one pan and still dispose of it safely?

did this today changed both the trans and diff... my trans was starting to shift funny so I figured it was time for a change... I have an 04 G35 6MT and it has 48K miles on it so I am sure it was the original fluid...
I used Royal Purple Max Gear 75w-90 in both the trans and the diff...
trans shifts like butter now car is driving like a champ.....
