Mmmmmm, MT-85 :)

Just replaced my 102K gear lube with Redline MT-85. Was going to get MT-90 but after reading another thread on MT-85 coming out and how its approved by Nissan I grabbed. Tranny only took 4 quarts. I tried putting in the 4.7 like it says but after 4.5 I popped the hose out and it threw up like half a quart. I needed to do it by this weekend so I bought 5 quarts at a local speed shop and 15 bucks a quart. Oh well. Tranny shifts and feels like butter.

I did the mt-90 last year, in place of the original fluid and it's was nice. I will be doing this soon.

That stuff is great, I was a test mule for a while a year or so ago and the MT-85 was IMO the beat out of the stuff i tested, For the 5/5 6 speed anyway
