fluid recommendation for daily driver

stealth23 · 08-27-2014, 11:41 PM

This weekend i plan on replacing manual tranny fluid, brake fluid, clutch fluid, and power steering fluid.

After doing some research i can't really find an answer to my question.
I have a 09 370z manual transmission sports pkg. its my daily driver and i don't track at all. So I'm trying to figure out what fluids do you guys recommend for a daily driver, Im not looking for cheap quality products nor racing quality products.

manual tranny fluid - after some research on here, I'm going with Red Line MT90

power steering fluid - Red Line D6 ATF

brake fluid - ?

clutch fluid - ?

Thanks in advance

I just changed power steering fluid with royal purple synthetic.
I will try the manual tran fluid change as soon as I find some clear instructions on how to do so.
^Same situation for rear diff fluid.
I use any DOT 4 clutch/brake fluid I can find with a 450 degree rating.

You should use Redline MT85 for the tranny and 75w90 for the diff. For your brake and clutch fluid, go with Motul RBF 600.

Do you know the capacities for tranny & diff?

I just changed my manual tranny fluid using Red Line MT90, i bought 4 qts but the car actually took 3qts and a bit of the 4th qt(like less then 1/4 of it).
You also need a 10mm hex bit socket to loosen the bolts.
