Best Fluids?

Its time to change my diff and T-case fluids and I was wondering what everybody is using and what they think is the best ? Also is there anything else i should change besides the tranny fluid cuz ive already done that. Car has 33K on it now.

I switched from Diaqueen to AMSoil at my 30k, car seemed to shift a lot better. One of the members on here is an AMSoil rep and I just followed the link to their webpage. You can look up the weights in the fluids sticky, 75w90 is what I think the tranny fluid is. The AMSoil webpage has a lookup tool to tell you the exact type and weight for your car.

You may also want to look into changing out the brake fluid. I just helped my buddy change his and it was pretty nasty looking; hadn't been changed in 50k, since new.

The stuff for the tc and diff is called SVG, contact apagan01 if that's what you want. Delivery is quick. You should search a little more as well.

Hmm... the search function must be out of order. Thousands of posts on this subject. A quick search will yield you the results your looking for.

Can't go wrong with AMSoil, OEM fluids, redline. I personally use the OEM fluids.

Again, this post has been covered numerous times. Search first.
