Red Line as good for Tranny's as it is for engine?
USE OEM ONLY!!!!!

The nissan tranny's are supersensative to aftermarket oils. These tranny's are specially engineered and any discrepency in the formula may cause adverse reaction to the tranny operation. As stated before the transmissions have a sealed design to keep most non-certified mechanics out. Our tranny oil can run 200k miles but nissan will change it for posterity and insurance, between 100k-120k miles. Higher performance tranny oil upgrades should be discussed with the GT-R specialist at your dealership. I think nissan does make the higher grade oil at a premium. But if you aren't running turbo's? You really don't need it.

PS Redline is recommended on MANUAL TRANS ONLY or as Engine oil for either car
