Redline MT90… NOT MTL… MTL is thinner and it will start eating away your synchros… ---

No, the tranny is 2.4L. The diff is 1.3L or 1.5L(for LSD). That’s according to the FSM (S13) And I’ve heard it’s important to get a API GL-4 rated oil in the tranny for proper synchro wear. (GL-5 for the diff) ---

there is actually a nissan part for lsd fluid, and apparently only penzoil makes the direct equivalent with the proper friction modifiers other stuff will more or less work (how can they not) but might wear faster or behave differently ---
