I used Mobil 1 75W-90 and about two bottles of it. Pop the fill plug first PRIOR to draining it also having a vacuum or pump device is a must!

When I say pump or vacuum I mean something to push the fluid back into the diff. I used a Motive power bleeder that I have, but you can pick something up for like 10 bucks. Just clean the drain plug off and you should be good.

If your trans is shifting like intended why waste your $$ on the Transgo kit? Changing trans/differential fluid is a good idea, don't forget to check your belts and do a drain/fill on your radiator fluid if it hasn't been done within the last year...Gary
