I can't remember right now, look in the manual or a repair manual, I am running Redline in both my diff and trans, the trans feels like it keeps a lot cooler than it did with mineral oil.

Royal Purple is what I use in both, but Redline is very good fluid also. I went to the Royal Purple website to determine what to use by make and model of vehicle.

+1 Royal Purple. You use Max Gear. Redline is okay too, but off of the race track (and, who knows, maybe on it too) I'd go Royal Purple. Neo is great too. Mobil 1 is good, if you want something easier to get. It just might not hold up to race conditions, for one.

For Mobil 1 or other fluids the FAQ says what weight to use. The oil must be LSD compatable, or else you need to add an LSD additive.
