everyone runs 75w90 redline tranny fluild. Its the exact weight the factory service manual recommends. And yes sr20 and ka24 transmission’s both take the same wieght oil. OEM, REDLINE, CDN TIRE, it all depends on how hard you drive your car, and how often you change it. And yes, 2.5L is all that is needed. ---
