Just picked up a very clean 1992 300ZX Twin Turbo.

Looking to do some general maintenance on it, want to change the manual transmission and differential oils. I've had good luck with Redline in the past on my 1994 RX-7, so I'm looking to use their MT-90 in the manual transmission and 75W90 in the differential.

Can anyone tell me what the capacity is for both? I don't want to order too much, but certainly don't want to order too little either. I've found conflicting info on the web, so I want to double-check here.

As of right now I'm planning on ordering 3 quarts of MT-90 for the manual transmission, and 2 quarts of 75W90 for the differential.

Can anyone confirm that this sounds about right?

Thanks!!

Also, ~3.5 qts of engine oil sound right?

3.4 in the engine IIRC, please don't crucify me if I'm wrong I haven't done an oil change on one in 6 years, just getting to the first one after break-in. All the capacities can be found here: http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi

Thanks! Got it.

3.1 liters (5.5 pints) for transmission, 2.1 liters (3.75 pints) for differential. So I was right on what I need to purchase.
