Red Line MT-85

:iagree:

Well, I learned a lot about gear oils tonight, My oil in draining and I'll get some GL-4 tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone on this forum.

Does anyone make a magnetic drain plug for the trans fluid???

The stock one is already magnetic. Same with the diff.

Actually the stock transmission plug is not magnetic. The differential plug is though. I've always wondered if you could use a diff plug on the transmission. Never bothered to check.

here you go:

the diff plug is much longer though, but i'm not sure how much clearance there is inside (or during operation). best to stick to a stock length plug. im going to change my tranny fluid soon. gears are crunchy when hot, stiff when cold.
It's been exactly a year since i changed the oil to Castrol VMX80, which i believe is a mineral fluid. Cheap stuff and silky smooth & light shifting so i dont mind doing it annually.

Im Lazy any DIY for differential oil change?
Thank you with lots of kisses from my dog pooch!

Cute pup :tup:

Pumped the 3 quarts of mt 85 in the tranny just now, emptied all three without any oil spilling out through the fill hole. Anyone else get three in with no overflow? What gives?

Actually it's not :tiphat:

:tup:

I bought 4 qts when I did mine a few weeks ago because I have read others on here running just short with 3 quarts. I only used 1/4 of the 4th bottle but I over pumped and let it drain back out to make sure it was full so probably only an 1/8th of the 4th quart was needed to get it to come out the fill hole. If you want to get another quart to top it off it is probably ok to drive with the three quarts you put in for now. Try and stick your finger into the fill hole and make sure you can feel the top of the oil level.

Most likely explanation is your car is not perfectly level. Whether it's how you jacked it up and supported it on four jackstands, or the floor or driveway you're using slants sideways slightly, it can throw the fill line off. In any case, you don't want to overfill your tranny, so three quarts should be plenty.
