Suggestions for transmission and differential fluids?
Hey everyone, I have a few questions regarding my new g35. Last week I bought a manual 06 g35 sedan with a little over 35k miles (Yes I was very lucky, had been looking for a few months now haha). Anyways, since Im not too sure what the past owner has done. I'll be changing out my AC filter under the glove box, as well as change oil, trans fluid, and diff fluid.
Now to my question,
For oil I'll be using 5w-30 mobile 1 sync. As for the trans fluid and diff oil what do you guys all use? Amsoil, redline, etc, etc.
Thanks again.

Amsoil is a great option!! Check out their stuff for your low mileage baby!! congrats on the great find, I bought my 2003 coupe 11/2009 w/ 30k, now I'm at 111k :'(
For the Manual trans, you'll want to use either NISSAN MTF, or Redline MT85
These trans require GL4 fluids, anything else will cause issues.
Manual calls for 80W-90 in the diff. You can use regular gear oil, or most just use Mobil 1 75W-90 b/c it's synthetic.

My dealer put Royal Purple synthetic ATF in the car so I always stick with the same - if you are doing drain and fills I would stick with whatever was in there before. For gear oil I have always used Redline.
I'm probably the only one on this forum that uses strictly BG fluids in my trans and differential. Have been since the first drain and fill. I love these fluids and will use them for as long as I have my car.
