Engine fluid quantities?

**qualthar** · 03-31-2005, 08:50 PM

Hope I'm not reposting anything here, but I searched here and SAU. I'm looking for all the amounts of fluids that the car needs.

So far this is what I'm planning on buying

Brake fluid - Motul RBF600
Trans fluid - Redline Heavy Shockproof
Front diff - Castrol SAF-XA (weight?)
Rear diff - Castrol SAF-XA (weight?)
Gearbox oil - Redline MT90
Transfer case - Nissan Matic D
P/S fluid - Nissan P/S fluid (dunno about part #)

If anyone has any info for how many liters of each I'll be needing, that would be great, as well as any other suggestions.

Thanks guys

The trany takes 4.1 litres of GL-4 75W90. I used Royal Purple.
The front diff. takes 1 litre 0f GL-5 85W90. I couldn't find synthetic 85W90, so I put in Redline 75W90.
The rear diff. takes 1.5 litres of GL-5 LSD 80W90. I put in LSD 75W90 from Redline.
The transfer case holds 1.8 litres of Nissan automatic.

Not sure about the others you mentioned.

very good information as I will have all fluids changed once car arrives

anyone did the whole change and can add to the list already posted on how many litres it takes of each and maybe cost?

Anyone heard of Amsoil?
I know a guy who is a dealer for them, its all synthetic, just wondering if anyone has had any real world experience with it, I know they use it in racing.

I use Swepco 201 for the LSD and tranny. This is used by a lot of the Porshe guys for racing applications.

I have used it with good results.

I did some reading on SAU today.

The transfer case should take Dexron III auto tranny fluid.

The rear diff has to have the LSD additive gear oil, while the front diff takes just regular gear oil, but will have no problems with the LSD gear oil.
