6MT Transmission & Rear Differential Gear Oil

I was wondering what brand of Tranny and Rear Diff oil you guys use. I was planning to definately go with Full synthetic oils. I was thinking about using Royal Purple for the Tranny. Any suggestions? Thanks

Re: 6MT Transmission & Rear Differential Gear Oil

I went royal purple gear, differential and motor oil. They make a power steering fluid too.

Im a believer of the full synthetic religion.

Ive heard some other people going with "redline". I am not too familiar with there product line-up though.

A friend of mine that owns a racing team and shop where they work on American sports cars uses Redline exclusively. I have no idea how their products are for foreign cars though.

Re: 6MT Transmission & Rear Differential Gear Oil

Well tonke I only have 2k + miles on my coupe. I changed out all my oils at 1200, before 1200 I was still babying it(as I still am, too an extent). So I cant give you a fair assement. However on my g35 sedan I switched to royal purple at 10k, in which I did notice a nice change in throttle response.

Redline gear oils are excellent stuff. Works fine for foreign cars.
