If you all can tell me what liquids you always use that would be cool as well. (I have done searches but it is crazy to be honest.) Once I hear Pintsize725 exhaust ill prob buy FI tdx catback

Thanks for the info.

We should meet up soon if you want to hear the exhaust. I'll be parting out near the end of the month. I'm also running the long tube headers with mine though.

As for your exhaust what set up is it?

Kevin is definitely the guy to go to for VQ motors. But fluid changes are easy. I would DIY. I've got everything you need except fluids if you want to come over. I can do it for you for a few bucks, or I can let you work on it yourself with my tools and guidance for a few beers.

5 quarts of Mobil 1 is $26 at Walmart, so that's always my choice. High quality, low price.

For clutch/brake fluid, I use Motul RBF600. It's cheaper online, but you can find it at Wood's Fun Center on I-35 just north of Braker on the frontage road northbound. Call first, though. They usually have at least one 500 mL bottle, but I sometimes need two or three (one for clutch, two for brake, three for both).

As for gear oil, I highly recommend Redline. I usually just order it from Amazon or a forum sponsor. But I have found a place in town that can get it for you next day usually. They're called Motormania and located on 620 a little south of Anderson Mill Lane. I assume this is for MT. I cannot do AT fluid change.

Thank you for the offer JARblue I might have to take you up on that offer at somepoint soon. I have some tools at home but I am not really use to this car just yet. As far as my manual transmission oil sure Ill get redline I care what I use but if its good for you as I have seen you on some posts about fluids its good for me

Do you have the link to the forum sponsor for redline for our cars. The weight we need is 75w-85 I think I am going to give Motormania a call for it. Ordered the motul oil from amazon already.

Z1 has everything you need. Compare to Amazon prices. As for Motormania, I would only use them if you needed the fluid quick and didn't want to pay for overnight shipping. They can get it in their daily delivery without an extra charge.

Oils & Lubricants

Get the Redline MT-85 for transmission fluid.

Ordered everything last night. Sounds like a party at your pad JARblue

Let me know when you have some time. Perferably on a weekend so the beer will not go to waste. I would like to try it myself to be able to do it again in 30k miles. And I have a manual transmission.
