Trans Fluid ? - Redline??
Alrighty, I checked the archives but found nada on Redline or on synth fluids
in general (other than motor oil anyhow.) Some of the messages I had lying
around suggested a few things, but I need some verification!!
I'm looking to change the trans fluid & the rear diff fluid, and near as I can
tell the NET lube of choice is Redline syunthetic, so that's what I'm a gonna
go with. This is on the TQ by the way. Owners manual says the trnny neads to
use GL4 SAE 80 or SAE 80W/ 90. Dandy, this translates nicely into Redline's
MT90. First question being, MT90 is right, yes? I think so. OK, next is teh
rear diff. Owners manual states GL5 SAE 90. Confusion sets in. Redline has a
"Redline 75W90", but I don't know if this is a GL5, or what. Also, do they
have just a 90 weight, not a multi-visc? Alright., last question. Is there a
synthetic of choice to use in the rear driveshaft? I think I can get Synthetic
Valvoline grease from NAPA, but if there's somethign better someone knows
about... Last question. I know Imparts carries the Redline, but are they the
cheapest? Thanks for any input!!
