Chuck@Z1 · 11-03-2010, 09:51 AM

We are pleased to announce that we now have Red Line MT-85 in stock and ready to ship out. This fluid is recommended by Red Line for use in 370Z transmissions.

Red Line MT-85

From Red Line:

Recommended for Nissan 350Z and 370Z

Safe for brass synchros, as it lacks the reactive sulfurs found in most GL-5 oils that cause damage

Offers quicker shifts, perfect synchronizer coefficient of friction

Eliminates notchy shifting, even when cold

High performance gear protection and longer synchro life

Recommended for GL-1, GL-3 and GL-4 applications, as well as where most special synchromesh fluids are specified

It can be found Here.

Just to let everyone know, I had this put into my car last saturday... and its made a very noticeable difference. Shifting is alot smoother, less noise/clanking. Definitely worth it.

Dai and I had a very awesome system of pumping and pushing to get the fluid from the bottle to the tranny after we drained it. I guess that sort of sets up some bad jokes, but you know what I mean. Anyways, be sure to have a good fluid pump handy as you definately wont be pouring the tranny fluid in.

Here's a silly question... how many do I need? 4?

Z1804 · 12-06-2010, 11:46 PM

4 will do it. You won't use all of it but will defimitely use more than 3.

daisuke149 · 12-07-2010, 09:45 AM

the tranny takes 3.1 quarts. yes i hate how they made it that way. but its nice. empty your tranny.. pump in a lil of the mt-85 let it flow/flush out a bit
seal up the drain plug and then keep pumpin it in. if we got extra may as well use it.

This may be a stupid question but it's important to me. I'm somewhat new to owning a Z. 6 speed manual. I bought some royal purple transmission fluid and I dont like it whatsoever, oem is wayyyy better. Is it possible I purchase redline and have my fluid drained and restored with redline? Even though I just had the royal purple put in a few weeks ago? Will this mess up my transmission at all? Thanks
