Im nearing 30k miles and planning to do trans oil change. . Any recommendation on what brand of oil aside from oem. And how many miles should i change transfer case and rear diff oil?

 

I'm in the same boat, but I want oem and I need help on that, don't know which one cause two different dealers told me two different things.

 

is it an mr or gsr

 

on mr you should change your oil earlier than the dealership says, ive seen videos about that and when you see the oil its dark as hell, they say to change it at 40.000 but you should do it half way more or less,this video should help you to show how bade it will come out at 40.000 i strongley advise to get that filter and oil pan, im getting one next month. actually you dont have to just use the dealers oil, there are good oils that have the especification for that kind of tranny, at the moment i dont remember which ones especificley but i think amsoil has it, and amsoil has the reputation of being the leader in lubricantes for years.

 

if its a gsr there are companies for sure that have the oil, the sst is a special kind of gearbox thats why not all brands have it,

 

If you just drive the car and not drag/autox and if they are stock(trans.tcase,rear diff) thn just run OEM fluid

 

just see the weight (75W90) for example, and if you want to put another brand choose the same weight the same weight

 

Redline cocktail for a GSR

SSP has the MR tranny oil.

There are many posts on the subject.

 

Thanks everyone for the reply. Its a gsr. I think i will go with oem because i dont drag/track.So, JTEVO are you saying change tcase and rear diff oil at 30k miles also?

 

As far as transmission fluid goes. If it's the 5-speed use:

Fluid: AMSOIL Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube 75W-90
Product Code: MTGQT-EA

OR

Redline 'Cocktail'
Fluid: 1QT Redline Mt-90
Product Code: 50304
Fluid: 2QT Redline MTL
Product Code: 50204

 

Yes, both of those are fine, though I have had better luck with the Redline.

To the OP, it doesn't matter if you don't track or drag your car, the Redline cocktail improves the shifting of the transmission ov the stock Diaquen.

I would highly recommend changing the rear diff and T Case as well, but for those two you do use the Diaqueen oem fluid.

 

GSR: Redline cocktail
MR: OEM DiaQueen

 

I'm running DiaQueen for the Evo 9 6spd trans in my GSR. It's working great

 

My GSR has Amsoil in there and getting into reverse no longer grinds.

 

+1 on the Redline Cocktail for the GSR
