Maintenence Schedule...........
My 1998 has 63,000 miles and I was wondering when I should change the transmission/rear end fluids. Also, what should I use and what weight? Thanks.

It would not hurt to do it now.
You can use ATF from Amsoil, mobil 1 or redline in the 6 speed tranny. I have tried the amsoil and for me the Mobil 1 shifts the same after a change.
For the rear diff 75w90 from amsoil, mobil 1 or redline is fine. You will need the gm additive for the mobil 1, amsoil and redline you do not.
See my how to here:
