Default Quick Question: Did I get the right fluids?

For my differential: Royal Purple Max-Gear High Performance Automotive Gear Oil. It says it contains the limited slip additive so I do not have to add it I guess?

For my Transmission: Royal Purple Synchromax High Performance Manual Transmission Fluid.



Replies needed quickly if possible, im about to service my car.

Royal Purple is a good brand
The gear oil needs to be 75W90
If it says limited slip has been added your fine

Assuming you have an manual transmission it takes Dexron III fluid.
Royal Purple advertise that Synchromax is for manual transmisison giving more protection than standard Dexron III fluids...

Thanks for the info! Now, will 1 bottle of each be enough?
