Like lots of people on this forum I collect good info as it's posted, here's some for your info.

From SK in another post.

What we use;

4WD Transfer = Castrol Transmax Z

Automatic Transmission = Castrol Transmax Z

Manual Transmission = Castrol Syntrans 75W-85 or Castrol Syntrax 75W-90

Differential = Castrol SAF-XA

Oil capacities. From DUNCAN

gearbox 4l, front diff 1l, rear diff 1.5l, xfer case 2l, attessa 0.5l, power steer 1l, engine about 5l + cooler + big sump if applicable

Tricks: 1. Make sure you can get the FILL plugs undone successfully before you undo the UNFILL plugs. :D

2. Get an oil sucker/filler hand pump from Supercheap or suchlike to refill diffs/transfer etc. Drain when oil hot.

Cheers GW

I was speaking to Brady from Japanese Motor Sport and he recommended Tranzmax Z (auto trans fluid) for the 6 speed Gehtrag on the R34 GTR's!!?

Anyone else on here got any ideas about this because apparently they've used it on the track as well for the Gehtrag's.....I would've thought the stuff is too thin?

i got told dexron 3 which is auto trans fluid aswell. Havent changed mine yet and not many people know how to. Gonna give it a crack one weekend.

i always run motul oils apart from my ppg box which ran 'smurfs blood' complete mind blank on its real name ahah

and 5x 40 seems a bit thing mate i would go 10/40 motul 8100 would be ideal!
