Tranny -> 75W90
Rear end -> 75W90
I believe you have no LSD back there (base model), so you don't need all the fancy LSD additives for the rear end.&nbsp Check your owners manual for specs.

hmmm, synthetic protects your transmission better. Just get synthetic. As for brand, get Redline. They last long, protects better, and worth every penny!

For manual tranny: Redline MT-90. IMO, There is no other choice.

For the rear end either Redline shock proof, Neo gear lube, or in worst case Mobil One.
