Default Fluid ?

Can we use "normal" gear oil, Tranny fluid, power steering fluid ? I just placed an order for a bunch of Redline stuff and would like to make sure I'm not missing something.
Thanks

By "normal gear oil" are you referring to the trans. or differential? Red Line synthetic 75W-90 in differential works fine but you need their D4-ATF in 6 spd. I am using both with no problems.

I am using all Red Line oil. Crankcase, Tranny(manual), Rear end, and even Water Wetter. The manual trans shifts much smoother!! Best stuff in the world! :cheers:

The power steering fluid is a synthetic too; don't add "normal" stuff.
