Upgrading to the Z1 diff cover and it calls for .5 more fluid can I mix in redline heavy duty shockproof with my existing GL5 redline fluid. What do you guys recommend?

Hey guys I’m gonna be changing my trans and diff oil soon and was wondering where to get OEM oils and plug washers from? Is the dealer the only place or is there a good website to use? I use Royal Purple motor oil but am leaning towards OEM trans and diff oil. Thanks

Thanks I’ll have to call the dealer for pricing and part number to compare. I’m going to be driving my G cross country soon after changing the oils I’d prefer to replace the washers just to be sure. I’ve also heard mixed reviews about Red Line.

I can’t find any fluids or washers on any dealer or ifiniti parts websites, looks like OEM or red line fluid is about $20 a qt on amazon. Is that what everyone is paying? $80 for 4 quarts every change?

I'm going to be changing MT fluid this weekend. Went to my local auto parts stores and they only carries Mobil1, Royal Purple and Lucas. One of the store managers recommend to get mobile 1 75w90 for tranny fluid swap.

MT has brass components (synchro's). GL5 is harsh towards such metals. Refer to your owners manual/fsm for correct fluids to use.
I used this the last few times.
