Have you tried the "cocktail" mix at all from redline?

I am using the redline "cocktail" mix. After having tried quite a few different fluids actually, I found the redline cocktail mix to be the best,imo (evo 8 speed).

2 quarts of MT90 and 1 quart of MTL

(1 quart roughly equals 1 liter)

So it means the gearbox itself holds around 3 litres of oil ... I think I'll go for Redline too.

For 5-speed, the oil type recommended is GL-3 or GL-4
For 6-speed, it's GL-4

You can try it, your transmission won't explode or anything since it's a similar formula.

See how it feels after a few miles and if there are no issues with shifting and it feels okay when cold and hot, you're probably fine.

Finally I've sourced all oils...
For tranny oil, reluctantly I have to use Redline MT-85 as Diaqueen GL-4 is 100% not avabilable in HK and most on-line shops don't ship to HK...
I'll see what Redline feels like and decide my next move

A big question...please help
Since my E9 GSR is Jap spec with AYC...therefore I need to change the AYC oil.
I know the front diff uses LSD oil, what about the rear diff? Does it use AYC oil or LSD oil?
