Oil: 5w30, Amsoil, Redline or Pennzoil Platinum Ultra

Oil filter: Amsoil, Royal Purple, Fram Ultra, WIX XP/Napa Platnium, Purolator Pure 1

Transmission Fluid: Nissan OEM 75w85, Redline MT-85, Amsoil Severe Gear 75w90

Brake and Clutch: Motul RBF

Coolant: Nissan OEM Blue coolant

Power steering fluid: Redline or any other ATF works just fine

Take your pick from the above, it's what I do. There are endless debates on what's the best fluid, there is no BEST fluid, some are better than others in certain areas. The best fluid is the one that runs through your body and fuels your brain and tells you that as long as you keep healthy change intervals your car will reward you with stellar performance.

PS: Most dealerships are staffed with morons in my experience.

Facts are facts.

Lots of worries!! :eek::eek::eek:

You do not want to use a GL5 gear oil in your gearbox. Change it out asap.

GL5 does not play well with brass sychro's. Have to use GL4 in a manual tranny.
