rear diff oil change= huge mess/picts :mad:
lol thanks for putting up with my confusion. i have 33.5k miles on my carOnly use MT90 for the tranny. For the rear diff, use the 75w-90 fluid. For the transfer case, use Heavyduty Shockproof. That's if you decide to stick with Redline fluids.
You can search for all the different opinion on which fluids to use.
Only thing you have to make sure of is that you have the proper size sockets.
Redline MT90 is for the 5sp transmission only. 3x qts capacity.
Redline Heavy shockproof is recommended for the rear lsd and transfercase by the leading two driveline rebuilders in the USA.
OEM
diaqueen for LSD and transfercase are also suitable stock fluids.We have all of these fluids as well as the SUPER MULTI GEAR OIL for 6sp
available by clicking HERE.
Stick to the oem fluid for the rear diff. You don't need to jack the rear up to get to the rear diff. Hand Oil pump is a great tool for a job like this. That little pan is a joke if there is any wind. If you don't care about driveway stains then you can stick with the same pan.
specs: .69 qts for transfer case and rear diff.( ONce filled to this amount on a level surface you will see a little oil seep out if you've over filled.)

^ Well said.
Just go down to your local Harbor Freight and pick up a suction / transfer pump.

I picked one up recently; you can't go wrong with $4.99.
You can also use a turkey baster (I'm not joking) but it obviously doesn't hold much fluid.
BTW, OP you should also place some old newspaper, cardboard, T-shirt, or towel under your oil drain pan to soak up any misdirected oil.

sorry for the confusion on my part, but after further research i have been recommended to put MT90 redline in my tranny, and some Diaqueen SAE 90W in my t-case and my rear diff. Hope that sounds good 
Every topic i check about changing the fluids ends up with someone talking about a front diff. -.- and that confused me for a little bit but i get it now

i've changed my fluids twice now and i have a little over 17K miles on her. i try to do it at about 8k miles intervals. i'm just alittle picky about stuff like this lol.
i had used mt-90 in the first change i did. didnt really like the shifter feel. so i switch to AMSoil. it's awesome stuff.

yes they do but when i talked to them they recommended the OEM stuff. my power level and use of the car was still adequate for the OEM. unless something has changed.
