i changed the gear oil in my transmission i used amsoil 75 w90 synthetic, will i be alright with that, a friend of mine told me(after i finished) that some nissan manual transmissions use automatic transmission fluid (is that even true). its an rb25det trans and i dont want to have to raplace it so lmk if ill be alright please; thanks

redline 75w90 for differential, mt90 for transmission

your friend probab;y meant nissan use ATF as power steering fluid

what ever you put in there, be sure it is not GL-5

the back of the bottle says:ams oil sae 75w-90gear lube mil-prf2105eauto spec gl-2 through gl-5api mt-1compatible with petroleum and synthetic gear lubesthis is what subaru recommends for thier m/t's; should i drain it though?

astroglide works well but it takes like 5000 of those bottles to fill the trans...

seriously tho, you should be fine since its synthetic and nissan has NEVER spec'ed atf for their mt boxes.

I dunno if its true that nissans use atf fluid. I guess its believable, the ford t-5 transmissions use it. I think youll be ok. It all depends on what you like too.

I like the thick $tuff, I use Redline Shockproof in my 240 and WRX.

it took four bottles of this stuff and it still was only about 90% full , my father told me to pump the stuff in untill it started to drain out of the filler hole, but i ran out of lube about an eighth of an in below it, i think it will be alright like that > thanks alot guys <

just thought id add that e36 m3's use atf also while the topic is open
