    Cheapest trans/diff oil supplier?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Ive really put this off for way too long. I have 120k on most likely original fluids. Shifting below freezing makes me cringe. I need the typical replacement. Mt 90 and 75-90 synthetic. Or if any other suggestions, i live in a varying climate. Summers can get close to 100 and winters get as cold as 0.

    Thanks

    Find the fluid you want to use, then find the supplier closest to you and it will likely be the cheapest option.

    Don't cheap out on oil. Im using Fuchs Titan transmission fluid. Supposed to be what Audi puts in their OE bottles. Just use synthetic with the proper grade.

    Coming from a trans with MT-90 in it, I highly recommend against it. Just went back to OEM fluid and it is great. Am using Amsoil Severe Gear 75-90 in the rear.

    Honestly, don't know. I have the 6sp. I used that same redline in my 95 pathfinder that only called for a GL4 75-90 and it sucked in that trans too. I wanted to try the Amsoil Trans fluid but I really didn't feel like having to change again if it didn't work out.
