How many miles on your car? And how come you use OEM rear diff fluid, and not say Redline, with a little lsd fluid like BBYbruno said so the diff isnt as stiff

I can't imagine why that would be the case. In any event, I've always been fond of Amsoil 10W-30. I've never used anything other than Diaqueen/ Super Diaqueen for my drivetrain...

because for a newer motor you use a thinner oil, as for older engines with more milage you use thicker fluid. (Pretty sure im correct here)

The clutch resevoir uses brake fluid and even shares the same reservoir with a divider between them . I just use regular autozone brake fluid.

If she had 148K I'd maybe agree. 48K not so much. Up to you though...

Thank you for explaining

We will probably not change them as they probably dont need to be changed

I have 42k miles on her and I choose to stick with OEM. I have the Quaife LSD and was told to use OEM fluid, since I have to buy it for the TC I use it in the rear also, makes it easier.

Redline Limited Slip Friction Modifier: http://www.redlineoil.com/products_g...5&categoryID=6

Just to let you know there are a lot of OEM

You hear of Redline horror stories because people use the wrong fluids in the wrong places. I've used Redline since the day I got my car with no problems. AMS and Shep recommended Redline products to me so that's what I use

I would not trust the dealer to do anything on my car. Its really easy to do yourself. The fill plug for the TC is not in the most convenient location but still not that bad.
