haha, that was quick.
I still need to change the driveline fluids in my EVO before winter. I just got an analysis of the transfer case oil back from Blackstone labs, the redline heavy weight shock proof is some good stuff!

so i just did a little research to see what these septa workers are striking about. i didn't know they made 50k/year plus benefits to drive a bus. and they were offered an 11.5% increase over 4 years and reduction of paying for benefits.

is it a joke that they're striking? i hope the union gets fired and they hire people struggling to get jobs.

oh and to top it off, the R5 caught fire this morning leaving hundreds stranded. when they sent buses out to get the people where they need to go, the picketers blocked the buses. i hope they get attacked by angry mobs soon.

I should send my driveline fluids in, I have always used the stock fluid in my car. I am curious what is better, all my research on what to use turned up that stock was best. Marc, glad to hear you are having good luck with the Redline oils.

Chu if you become dealer let me know, I run Amsoil in the engine and will be in need of (5-6) quarts, let me know.

To whoever wanted to know my Autox wheel sizes:

18 x 9.5 (+38 or 44 offset, I honestly forget right now) if someone needs to know for sure PM me and I will pop a wheel off my car and check.

20 mm spacer in front 5 mm spacer in rear

I run aggressive alignment in front, my cars ride height is low too if that matters. My front fender is slightly pulled/flared out and the rear fender is completely rolled. This is required to run this size tire/wheel.

If I had it to do over again, I would get the 18 x 10, it is the proper size wheel for a 285/40/18 tire. The 9.5" and 10" rims should both fit.

Thanks for the clarification Mike. I dont now if I could afford to run the camber you do, lol. On the Amsoil note, I'll find out soon enough!

I was getting a chatter in my t-case during low speed tight turns using the heavy shockproof after about 5k of use.. I think it is decent stuff but if I were you I would change it every 5k..
