Need some direction...
I have a 2002 ZO6 and need to do some routine maintenance to it. I have been reading much on the forum for choice of fluids to use for diff and trans. The next thing is what brakes to go with: I need pads and rotors on all 4 corners. I do my trans/diff fluids religiously at 10-15K miles ( I dont track at all) and everything has come due at once at 35K (sux for my pocket) here's where I need help. I have used GM reccomended fluids the past two times and want to change
Fluids for Trans and Diff: Royal Purple, Redline, Mobil 1 or GM?!?!
Brakes: GM ZO6 pads (any other suggestions?) with the Brembo cross drilled from tirerack or Baer from Ecklers (any other suggestions)?!?!
Also, last time I had the dealership drain my trans and diff because they said witout their "tool" (bladder to push other fluid out) I would not get all the fluid out. The mechanic is an aquantenace and felt comfortable with him and the resonsibility on them. I do all my other vehicles on my own is what they say true?

All oils mentioned work great. I like RP because all the Honda dealerships carry it here in So Cal. If not tracking, good looking rotors will do well. For myself I get $110+ rotor set or best price available with ceramics which cut down on dust. Not the best stopping pad, but close enough given our vehicles weight and ABS. Stock pads work very well. Good luck. No problem getting the oil out in my garage.
