    What kind of drain intervals (km's) does everyone else run on Redline MT90 gearbox oil?

    I've already replaced my diff and motor oil thinking why not change my MT90 with fresh stuff while Im at it.

    I personally replace all the fluids in the zed once a year, that is diff, gearbox, etc...obviously not including the regular services

    Ouch replace every year, that would be very expensive for fully syn oil..

    service manual states every 40k or 24 months but thats with conventional oil.

    I've read on other forums that MT90 should be good for 100k.. in theory :D

    I do my diff every 10K due to the silly Nismo diff (and the leak :p). But agree with Teky, wouldn't surprise me if a lot of zed are still on their original diff oil :p

    I know its a bit of a overkill but i like the thought of knowing that the fluids are new rather than old...i had the original diff & gearbox fluids till i got it replaced...it was very black and burnt...plus i only use synthetic fluids :)

    2way clutch pack. It's quite aggressive. Have to be paying attention, especially in the rain otherwise you're sideways :eek:

    Hey, just wondering where you picked up the gearbox oil? And if you would know how much is needed to fill the gearbox and diff? Thanks :)

    you can buy Redline oils from bursons
    1 gallon is more then enough for the gearbox
