Transmission Fluid Question

Whats up Evo Fam!

My 15’ GSR is going to be getting an upgraded clutch soon!

(Exedy stage 1 with a resurfaced flywheel)

I was just curious if i should use the transmission fluid from the dealer or use a diffrent fluid. This is my first time having to do this job and i would like to do it right the first time.

The OEM fluid is thin for fuel economy/emissions purposes. Protect your trans and run a GL-4 75w90 fluid like the two I've suggested. I've found that Amsoil does not shift as well as the redline or motul.
