Thanks Team.
Yeah, I recommend MT-90 since it's GL-4

Well, I dont know what the Idumetsu is, Rotary Performance recommended it, but doesnt say what spec it is.
I may just ditch everything and got with some 75w90 Redline all around.

I need to change the gear oil, both the gearbox and the differential. What would you recommend for the diff.?

I use RP Maxgear in the tranny and Mobil 1 75W90 GL5 in the diff, no issues. I did try Amsoil in the tranny and it SUCKED, very notchy and stiff so I drained it out in a week.

Has anyone actually documented problems with Royal Purple maxgear (as in wearing issues)? I am aware that GL-4 is recommended, but according to RP although maxgear is GL-4 and GL-5 it will not cause premature wear in a tranny, including syncros.
I've had maxgear in my tranny for about 10,000 mi. and it is great. Tranny is cooler, quiter, and smoother. I have although thought about a swap for Redline, b/c I used in past vehicles and b/c or the GL-4 only debate.

Despite my post above, the GL4 debate convinced me to swap out the RP for Redline MT-90. Not all transmissins are the same, but I like the Redline better in mine. Once warmed up, all of the shifts are smoother and faster, including the 1-2 (which is still slower than the rest.) When cold, the 1-2 shift was slightle more notchy, but that went away quickly. The RP worked REALLY well in the winter in sub-zero temps. Time will tell on the Redline.
