Quick Help: Maintenance Question-Tranny and Differential Gear Oil?

Hey guys,
I'm gonna perform a 30K maintenance on Rachel's G tonight, I got everything except for the oil. I do not know what weight I should use for the tranny and rear-differential. I have good experience with redline oils so I'm gonna stick with that brand.

And also, how much do I need to fill the transmission and differential?

Thanks a lot guys.

Hey Kris,
Did you get your fluid change in the dealership? I just called Infiniti in Concord and they said I can't buy their oil since they don't sell it in small quantities. I guess I'm sticking with redline.

Well I didn't get to ask them, but they're not selling them so I can't fight that.

I went ahead and bought red lines oils, have 8 quarts total came to $70, that's not bad. Better than spending $$$ in the dealership.

I'm doing a differential fluid change on a 06 g35x and the front and rear diffs call for 2.16 qts together and I was wondering how KRIS79 says 3.2 qts on a coupe. Unless the diff on the coupe is bigger
Alos, what would you guys use on the transfer? I think I'm sticking with nissan stuff but it would be nice to get some amsoil or royal purple. thx

Yeah, I'm using (and have been for a very long time) Amsoil's MTG and SVG lubes for the trans & diff.
