MT-90 with A.E. VLSD?
i just recently put in redline MT-90 75w90 tranny fluid in my 2k1 A.E., but another mechanic I was talking recommends gl-4 fluid for the lsd in the A.E. tranny rather than the gl-5 redline
any oil experts care to comment on this?

Some of the conventional/dino gear oils that are GL5 will "eat up" /destroy the gears because of their chemical compound. So be careful.

The mechanic is partially right, but he doens't know about Maximas. Nissan calls for GL-5 in products that have a separate casing for the differential and that don't have "yellow" metals. That would cover RWD and AWD vehicles (don't know about CVT vehicles though). The max's diff isn't in a separate casing so you're cool.
