Hey guys.. what do u recommand for tranny and diff oil.
i looked up alot of thread..
alot of ppl recommand Redline 75W-90 for diff..
and 75W-90NS or redline lightweight shockproof for tranny.
what did u replace ur diff and tranny oil with?
any recommendation..? i don't care what brand it is.. as long as it works good..

 

i use valvoline 75w90

 

synthetic?

 

no dyno for tranny and diff

it seems to work good

 

In my tranny I just switched from Torco to Mobile 1. I noticed a huge difference, shifts were smoother and when I punched it, I felt a more consistent acceleration. I still crunch when shifting into 4th, but I think that's a synchro problem :-(

I still have oem stuff in my rear dif. I actually went to change it out, but when I looked at that square head bolt I said "wtf." So far, I haven't found a socket or anything to get that thing off... When I figure out how to get those bolts off, I'm going to put Mobile 1 in there.

 

the diff uses a 1/2 inch drive..what sux is the newer 04-05+ uses T70 torx for tranny... and T70 is a rare tool..

 

i have the 1/2 inch

 

Thanks to him I know how to change them now.

 

i wouldn't use redline. it works well, but when it is time to change them again, they get stuck to your gears

 

i guess it's like once u go for a certain type of oil.. it's a good idea to stick with it..
there is no turning back...

 

not to hijack but can anybody help with changing out my trans/ diff? i have no tools

 

i'll help with that.

 

I went to car quest and asked if they had anything like that and the guy suggested using a socket wrench with no socket on it, but I didn't have one that would fit in the hole :-( Where would I purchase one of these.... '1/2 inches' :-P and no ***** size jokes either!

 

maverick707 if you and ed want to come over to my pad we can do it here

 

I use Mobil clean 7000 5W30 and Mobil 1 for my gear oil. Mobil guarantees the oil lasting for 7000 miles. Thinking of switching to Full synthetic soon for the engine. Maybe after one more change. Just want something that is readily available off the shelf. Motul sounds really good, but it costs more and it is not too readily available. I use Purolator Pure-juan for my filter since the Subaru ones are too exp...
