I use Amsoil Series 2000 racing gear oil. If you go to http://www.qwestdex.com and enter your city/state and enter "Amsoil Dealer" for the "Business Name" and I'm sure there should be a few guys buy ya. It's a bit expensive but they are as good or even better then Redline Gear Oil or Royal Purple. If you can't find any dealers near buy stop by http://www.amsoil.com and order some.

can anyone recommend what grade to use for the transmission and differential? I've read of people using different grades of gear oil for various reasons and have no idea how to choose the right one.

I use redline's "shock proof" heavy transmission oil, it firmed up ym shifts quite abit, and everyone at ballacned performance and the GA-Z club swears that it will help keep my transmission working even under the turbo I plan on getting....

good **** to say the least. worth the bux/quart too.

also, once you flush it through, your pretty much done for a long time....prolly until the transmission blows up.
