ATF OIL info

Hi all,

I would like to ask a few question.

1. How many liters do we need if we going to change our ATF oil.
a. Any ppl knw where i can get reasonable price of RED LINE ATF oil...

2) The LSD at the rear uses what sort of oil... is it the same as the ATF oil that we using for our gear box?? if it is not what oil do we normally use...

regards

Cool

Sorry, can't answer the ATF questions, but the rear end LSD uses "GL5" 75W90 oil.

Redline's GL5 oil is very good.

LSD using either 75W90 or 80W90 gear oil. u cannot use gearbox oil as ATF oil... different.

ATF using dexron 3 for our car.

^ what coupe said you only can use 75W90 for both transmission and differential when your car is manual as for auto you just need 75W90 for gear and ATF Dexron III for transmission

The manual says ~9l for ATF, and ~2l for the gear oil. If you look through some of the threads, some are saying 12-13l for a complete flush of the ATF.
