Which Oils

[Draen]

Hey all,

Im looking to change my gearbox and diff oils, on my r32gtst. I just use it for a daily drive and go on an occasional dash around mountains now and then.

What oils would u guys recommend and how much does this car take of each. I hear u guys talk about redline quite often. Is it worth the money?

Also I didn't think the clutch has any kind of fluid - i could be wrong...?

I got Redline MT90 for gear box yesterday, and Motul FF-LSD Type2 for front and rear diff (for R33 GTS4), was reading alot about oil for oast few days. So many recon redline shock proof are better but i found from some ppl its not good fro long run.

Red line light shock proof for gear box. Best oil out there by far... however you will pay the money for it.

Not sure about r32 but r33 takes just under 3.8 or 1 us Gallon.

For diff i just used castrol LSD 90.

That took around 1.7 litres... But again for an r33.

Thanks for the replies.

Does anyone know a decent mechanic who has worked on a few skylines - in the southside (Kensington/Maroubra) area?

Don't use Redline lightweight shockproof if you don't have any problems with the gearbox, ie. crunching synchros.

If the box feels fine use another Redline oil or maybe a motul.

Shockproof isn't actually designed for synchro gearboxes, however many have raved about it's improvement for problem boxes.

For the clutch you will need a clutch/brake fluid.
