You're in Kalihi aren't you?
I think I've seen you car on the Likelike...Dk Blue GC8?
Anyhow, I picked mine up at Redline Automotive on Waiakamilo road...just went there to pick up my accessory and ac belts for my STI...nice guys. It's across the street from the Chevron gas station...near the corner of King St. and Waiakamilo...

ok I think I got the wrong gear oil I got 75w90 High Performance Gear Oil. I saw the shockProof oil but it never have any 75w90 on it so I never get it cause I was thinking it was some kind of additive or something like that.... can anyone help me on this RedLine GearOil stuff? thanks.

Yeah,
I can help. In my humble opinion, the Redline shockproof transmission and rear differential for my 2002 WRX made no difference. I was expecting a difference, but noticed nothing. Check the transmission forum on NASIOC, there's a thread there where the hot ticket seems to be some pricey dino gear oil (or Uncle Scotty's speciaql formula). I use Redline engine oil religiously, so it's not like I'm dissing Redline, but the tranny/diff synthetic oil didn't impress me. It isn't cheap either.

Im pretty sure it is becuase Im getting ready to change my diff/tranny oil pretty soon and I talked to Ryan at Vakamon about it. He reccommended Royal Purple or redline 75-90 for the diff and Royal Purple MT fluid for the tranny. Hope that helps.

your rear differential will have 2 drain plugs which can be removed by using a 1/2" drive ratchet or a 1/2" drive breaker bar.
You will need to remove the lower drain plug first to remove the fluid. After it has drained, you will need to put that drain plug back in securely (do NOT over torque). Then remove the top plug to fill it. on the WRX/STI you need to fill it until fluid start to drip out of the top hole (make sure you read the capacity amounts though) then seal it back up.
You should have done a search on this. other people including myself has posted things about differential fluid changes...etc. before
you should also look at the impreza transmision section.
