hey guys, since search isnt working, coupld you help me out and tell me how much fluid i have to buy for the rear end? i do have the lsd and i just wanted to know the capacities.
thanks
and also the tranny oil is about 3.6quarts right? thanks

 

1 3/4 litres in Australia which I believe is 2 quarts.

I think that it is worth doing. When I changed my oil there was quite a lot of metal pieces attached to the magnetic drain plug.

 

The shop manual lists the capacity as 3 pints. If you buy fluid with a rating that covers both rear diff and manual tranny, you would want to get 5 quarts.

 

Which plug was magnetic?


mgk

 

so lemme get this straight...
the tranny is 3.5 quarts
and the read differential is about 2 quarts?

am i understanding right?

 

Transmission is: 10-7/8 qts
Differential Carrier: 3qts

These are from a Nissan Service Manual that I obtained...Let's not get into how...but that is what it says

 

Blueblur- better check again. The differential holds 3 pints- not quarts. I have the shop manual.

 

I just changed my transmission and differential oils with RedLine. Just a note: The clearance to put fluid in the trans and diff is very small and requires a long tube to reach without spilling. I had the car on jack stands when I realized that I had to take a trip to the hardware to get a longer length of flexible tubing.

Transmission: I emailed Redline and the tech recommended Redline 50:50 mixture of MTL + MT90—4 quarts. He said that this most closely approximates what Nissan is recommending.

Differential: Redline 75W90--2 quarts. The plug is magnetic on the differential and there was a lot of metal filings adhered to the magnet. I hope that this is just 'fine tuning' the tolerances on the new differential. There was enough metal that if it was on my older car, I would assume that I needed to begin looking for a new differential.

btw I never had the difficult shifting that others have noted, and so I haven't noticed any improvement either.

have changed all of the fluids: brake fluid to ATE Blue at the suggestion of Dave Zechhausen; engine oil to Mobil1 10W30 after 12,000 miles; and now synthetic Redline.

Anyone else following Le Mans today?

 

ok thanks, 4 quarts for the tranny and 2 quarts for the diff. thanks!!

 

how much brake fluid did you need for the Z?

 

I bought two quart cans of ATE Blue brake fluid. I pumped quite a bit of fluid through the lines and still had 1/3 of the tin left. That's a close approximation. I threw the partly used can away.

 

Here is a thread about changing fluids.
