im using royal purple in my tranny....works great..very smooth
Hello All,
Can someone point me in the right direction? I went to JRP and called around for the diff fluids but no luck.
Front Differential - 85W90
Rear Differential - 80W90
Can someone recommended brands / shops that carries the above? I want to get the diffs done prior to storage.
Thanks in advance!
I looked all over the GTA and could not find them. I did find posts of people saying they use the 75w90 stuff for both their diffs. I have also seen threads where people say that its better if you drive your car really hard.
I went with the Royal Purple 75w90 MAX GEAR from JRP, which is a bit on the expensive side, about 30% more then the you're going to pay for RP at one of those I might get stabbed here kind of shops in Toronto. The type that seem that have nothing but CF and CF Kevlar hooded Civics and CRX's parked all around and are in some out of the way body dump industrial area.
It depends on the size of oil filter you use, I picked up 2 very different sized ones. Also, things like oil coolers and extended oil pans need to be considered.
I don't think I put in quite that much in my r32. Not running an oil cooler or filter relocate and have the larger of the 2 filters on now. I believe I got a bit under 5 bottles in there. Topped it off slowly, started it for a bit, topped it off again.

I heard putting in 5.5L of engine oil in and then putting in an extra 0.5L of GM engine oil supplement aka GM EOS, is good because of the zinc additive
Heres a list a buddy of mine gave me for fluids, lemme know what yall think:
Royal purple 75w90 for diffs - 1.1L front and 2.2L rear.
Engine oil 10w30 synthetic, 5.5L
Mix with engine oil ---> GM EOS (Engine oil supplement) 0.5L
Redline heavy shockproof transmission oil for the tranny
thats all, the rest of the fluids ill just take from whatever others are saying

So gents and gents, quick Q.. Changing my clutch tomorrow and ive decided on 4.0L's of redline heavy GEAR OIL, 75w90. I was having a complication with the guy on the phone, he was confused i was putting gear oil for transmission fluid. Am i right that im going to put 75w90 of redline heavy shockproof GEAR OIL into the tranny?
He confused me and made me think they are different.. Is there any difference?
