Diff Fluid=75w90NS or regular 75w90
im about to perform my 30k mile service. which includes tranny and diff fluid change. trans im using Redline MTL and for the diff ( '04 GT= LSD correct?) i wanted to use Redline also, but i saw NS and regular. which one is for use in the stock LSD diff?
|
I use Redline 75w90 in my diff.
|
Since the factory diff is a vicous coupled type, there is no need for the limited-slip friction modifiers. Like Jon said, standard 75W90 is fine.
|
DIY thread. I used Red Line 75W90 in the diff 2. And yes to ( '04 GT= LSD correct?)
|

Yes, it is an LSD but it uses heat-sensitive fluid instead of clutches for the engagement.

For Rear diff, use 75w90. Or anything that meets GL-5 at the same weight or something higher like 75w140. the NS one is NOT for use in LSD, NS means it does NOT contain the fiction modifiers required for Limited-Slip Differential to function. |
whoops i actually have MT90 not MTL haha i read all about that MTL stuff before i switched it when i first bouhgt it last Oct. my bad. but im staying with MT90 hahaha.

NS works well in the gear box - true story ...
|
so then i have to ask whats the difference in the MT90 and 75w90-NS, in thE gear box?

The Nissan's use a viscous, but Mazda hasn't for 10+ years. |
Yes, you are correct! I did get things confused but even the Torsen is a clutchless design, isn't it? My point is the same but for the wrong reason.:lol2:

NS is just a GL-5 fluid without the stuff for LSD, which is good for Synchos in the gear box. |
If you guys saw the various fluids I have run in my trans and diff you would think I was an idiot. Well, you may already think that, but.............:uhh:
Anyway, all the fluids we have been told NOT to use I have used without incident.:dunno: |

/\ i'm a bit the same (except for the idiot part ;) )
I've run stock , MT90, LWshockproof and now NS in the g/box . The best so far has been the NS :dunno: |
Castrol sells the Hypoy-C 80w90.... also compatible with rear LSD per manual.
|
not as bad as a friend who put 2 quarts of atf in a old datsun during a oil change. when we changed the oil it was freaking weird looking. car ran fine though. he was a pack rat and still had the bottles in the box. finally put it together after looking.
|
NS = no slip modifiers
the only reason to run NS in a diff is if it's a clutch type and you're trying to induce more lockup, so there's no advantage/reason to use it in the RX-8 OE differential slip modifiers can cause synchro engagement issues though, so running NS in the trans is a good idea, my preference is still Redline 75W-140NS I have Kaaz 80W90 oil in the diff because I had it around at the time, not cheap ... |

you guys are confusing me... so using NS is okay?
|
Don't use NS, it doesn't have the modifiers needed for your car.
