Back when wife and I had our nismo, the difference between going from stock trans fluid to the redline MT 85 was very noticeable. I don’t have comparative experience with other aftermarket trans fluids, but I personally would only run MT85 for the 6mt.

Now for rear diff fluid, only the best, Motul is the way to go imo, that’s what we used and it held up very well at the track.

I was able to buy redline oil (tranny and diff) and the difference is obvious with the MT85 for tranny


Thank you all
