changing fluids
2006 evo gsr
Im just wondering what the best transmission fluid is to run in the 5 spd trans.
should you stick with the Diaqueen 75w85, or go with red line or bg synchro or bg synchro shift 2 which is synthetic, not sure if its good to run that. what are you guys running? has it been good for you ?
also the transfer case and rear diff just stay with the diaqueen lsd?
is there any other driveline oil that needs to be changed?
also just empty them and fill them back up, read a lot of post on that, but in one it said something about turning the tires and bleeding something by hitting the gas??
sorry i been searching for 2 hrs and still alittle confused
thank you

Your turning the tires probably refers to rotating the tires which means moving them to new positions on the car. This helps to extent tread wear. If you have directional tires then you can only rotate front to back. Otherwise use whatever pattern you like. Rotating tires provides a good oportunity to check the brakes and suspension but don't get under unless the car is properly supported.
The pressing of the gas pedal refers to bleeding the transfer case which is only necessary if you have had the hydraulic lines disconnected - this is not part of ordinary service - more like part of a clutch job.
