It would be nice to get it quicker, and maybe even get a little bit of a discount. :):hello:

It should be similar viscosity. The manual recommends a 75W-85. The MT-90 is a 75-90 which is actually a bit thicker but not by much at all. Both the Nissan and Redline MT-90 manual trans fluid are GL-4.

Some people (including me) mix 2 qts of MTL and 2 qts MT-90 to get the right viscosity.
Nissan actually does say that you can use 75W-85 or 75W-90 in the manual transmission
(I think the 350Z used only 75W-85).

Im in for Redline MT oil. Shifting into 2nd is always notchy when cold and this trans in general could shift a bit smoother...sounds like this fluid might do the trick.

+1 on Group buy for redline oil 5w30!!

I am in as well. Currently I get my Red Line from Jegs at $9.99 qt with free 2 day shipping. They charge a $9.99 handling charge per order but that is a lot cheaper than the shipping would be so it works out. Make me a better deal :tup:

if you guys can let me know how much of each people want, that will make this alot easier - we have alot of this stuff available, and there are alot of different products. This way I dont waste alot of time working out GB pricing on things no one is going to buy :)

if the group buy is going on then I would take
atleast 6 quart of the engine oil 5w30
3 quart of the transmission and 3 quart of the rear diff (or whatever the recommended amount is)

3 gallons of 0W-40 Motor Oil (2 oil changes worth)
4 quarts (or 1 gallon) of 75W90 GL-5 Gear oil (2 changes worth for the diff)
3 quarts of MT-90 75W90 GL-4 Gear Oil (1 change worth for the trans)

damnit i just bought 6 quarts direct from redline few days ago. i hate u guys. :(

I would be in for 2 oil changes worth as well as whatever is needed to switch out the Transmission ..

I use MT-90 in my 240Z and I'll be putting it in the 280ZX as well. Its pretty much the number one recomended oil for those transmissions (as well as Redline MTL which is slightly lighter). It's crucial that they use the GL-4 as the high presure modifiers in GL-5can destroy yellow metal (bronze, etc) trannys. I don't know if the syncros in the 370Z are bronze alloys, etc. I use the Redline 75W140 (GL-5) for the rear diffs in my R180 and R200s.

That being said what is the cost on the above oils? I'll probably order enough to do my 280ZX and my 370Z but it obviously has to be worth my $$ so shipping as well. If its cheap enough I'll get the 5W30 as well for the 370Z.

0W40? I thought we take 50W30? Or am I absolutely oblivious?

5W30 although with synthetics technically 0W30 would be better (on start up where the most wear occurs). 0W40 would be for a very hot climate.... the flow characteristics of 0W30 and 0W40 at temp are virtually the same.
