hey ppl

i own a '82 280zx turbo and it is in need of having the tranny fluid changed. unfortunately for the manual trans, they recommend GL-4. but i have checked all the stores in my area and cannot find it anywhere. is GL-5 the replacement for GL-4, and can i use that? or is there something else that i can use?

Do a search using transmission fluid as the keywords. It's been covered a lot an there are a few options ranging from OK to great depending on how much you want to spend on the fluids.
Don't forget to expand the search timeline from 30 days to 6 months or a year.

I'm concerned with all the rampant sex and nudity on TV but all I can do is sit at home shaking my fist.

80W90 I dont know why they wanted automatic transmission fluid in the T5 but they did. If you want to stick withthe red stuff you can use GL5 with no problems.

AMISOLE MAKES A GREAT PRODUCT AS WELL, NOT SURE WHAT THE GRADE NAME IS THOUGH.

Redline MT90. Shifts better.

I ran mine with whatever came in it and it was good. Then I put Redline MT90 in and it so much better. Quick and smooth shifts.

My buddy with a 5-speed Jetta is going to replace his oil with Redline because he was so impressed.

Just beware that Redline isn't carried in some places. I had to order mine through Summit Racing because no store near me carried it.

Everything done to the Z has been done by my Dad and I. Neither one of us were or are mechanics. We use you guys and books to do everything. Thanks!

I have used Redline MTL during my transmission saga. It even quieted down a noisy transmission unitl I could remove it for inspection. Just my 2 cents.

GL 5 lubes are not backwards compatible with GL4 applications.You must use GL4 rated lube.Redline or Amsoil makes superior GL4 specific products.
