Gonna be gettin my oil changed sometimes in Oct (in preparation for winter). Since I’ve a daily driver, i’ll be putting 5w30 for fall/winter. Anywho while Im at that, is there any reason I should get my tranny fluid or differential fluid changed as well? Also, what brand/weight fluid should I use for the tranny/diff? And what’s a good place to get it done? I got my last oil changed done at Speedy. And I can’t remember when my tranny/diff fluid was last changed. Whoah, lotsa quetions. 🙂 ---

Make sure you have lots of leverage for the Diff. They are always REALLY tight and hard to get off. Good Luck! ---

hey, I recently drained my tranny fluid. I used redline tranny fluid (sorry, forgot the specs, its in the FSM if you need it). Bought it at pacific mall for $18 a liter. I also added lucas tranny treatment, seems to be working nicely, no complaints, although i spent over $50 in fluids (KA tranny take 2.4L of tranny fluid). ---
