Well, I just changed mine on Saturday. I used 80W-90 Gear Oil. Just remember, whatever you use, you are going to need a long tube to squeeze the oil into the tranny. Just some helpful advise.

I'd like to change to redline gear oil, somewhere I read you have to change the drain and fill washers when you do it.<BR>Those of you who changed your oil, did you change the washers or just use the old ones?<BR>THanx<BR> :roll:
