what type of gear oil would be best for my 92 se with around 200k?

which i need a tranny for anyways, so im just lookin to get the oil before i get the tranny, so when i get it i can put it right in.

im guessing redline but is there any certain kind?

 

Redline MT-90 seems to be the norm

 

ok thanks man

P.S. how much would i need to fill it up from empty

 

Amsoil

you'll need 5 quarts

 

i'm very biased towards amsoil series 2000. around here we call it smurf juice because it's BLUE....yay! rice fluids. lol
anyways,
i've heard of mt-90 causing issues with the 4th gen manual trannies. i don't know exactly why but this is what i've heard.

i don't know if mt-90 is better than series 2000 but i've felt the difference between conventional gear oil and the series 2000.... OMFG the series 2000 feels incredible!!!

i'll be using amsoil series 2000 once my 5-spd swap is done. it also helps that i'll be getting dealer pricing on it too because it ain't cheap.

 

Except you didn't mention if you had an AT or manual, but I have been very happy wth the AMSoil. It's not cheap, however.

 

its a 5 spd

 

thread title: "Best Gear Oil for 92 SE?"
ya can't run gear oil in an auto tranny...

 

thank you shock

 

my mistake on the redline mt-90 issue. it wasn't that oil which caused problems, it was the motul gear oil.
