Not all GL-5 spec oil has apparently. Car is running and shifting great. If you're not sure, then MT-90 in the trans, and a GL-5 spec in the dif.
Thanks for clarifying this. I am planning on replacing all of those fluids in the next few weeks. I just think I did not order enough MT-90 now. Doh!

For what it's worth, when I view Red Line 75W90 and put in my Z year, make, model, Amazon says it is a fit for my car.

When I view the Red Line 75W90NS, it says it is NOT a fit for my car.

I've sold (non-auto part) items on Amazon as a dealer. If auto-parts are anything like my online store, the fit/compatibility information comes from the seller not from Amazon so that compatibility assessment is most likely directly from Red Line.
