More awesomeness man!

I'm finding it hilarious that most of the stuff you're doing I'm doing at the same time... lol

Just got all my fluids for 2011 in

How do I get a cool NICOclub sticker for my windshield?

Send an email to [email protected] or send her a PM (nissangirl74). She handles all of that stuff.

Upon reading a bit into the rating system for gear oils, I've noticed that GL-5 is incompatible with our manual transmissions and transfer cases. Unfortunately I have been unable to find any GL-4 specific oil locally, the only one close is this one:

Is it suitable for use in the trans and transfer case or do I need to drop $$ on a full syn like Amsoil?

You don't need full syn, but you do need GL-4. I know that every auto store around here has GL-4 compatible gear oils from O' Reilly's, Mobil 1, Royal Purple etc. You probably won't find any cheap, or generic GL-4 (besides O' Reilly's brand) but it shouldn't be hard to find. The GL-4 fluids are needed in order to protect the brass synchros, plain and simple. I run AMSOIL because its a product I trust and its cheaper than MOTUL.

The Coastal brand I got at Autozone says it's for GL-3, GL-4 and GL-5 applications and it was cheap, maybe $12. See the photo in my post.

That's the one I went looking for and they didn't have any like that on the shelf. Going to check around town this afternoon and see what I can find.
