Default Changing fluids

It's time to change my transmission and differential fluids. I'm looking for both directions and product advice. What parts are required? Magnetic plugs? Filters? Quantities? ATF? Redline? Mobil 1? Amzoil? Royal Purple? GM additive? Gaskets? etc.

Check out tech section on this site for info on diff fluid change. I just did it last week. I used Redline 70-90 synthetic AND the GM limited-slip friction modifier. I just used a 60cc syringe to fill it. It's very easy.

Thanks, I was all set for doing the swap to Redline until I found out it's not certified to meet GM's specs. So, I'm probably going to go with Amsoil???

I put Mobile 1 synthetic Dexron III in mine yesterday. It shifts a lot smoother and the tranny is quieter. And Mobile 1 is much easier to find and meets GM spec. :cheers:
