95se is an unknown quantity at this point
well, i had been doing transmission fluid every 60K according to the fsm but after the second time they said there was a lot of metallic shavings that came out of the transmission when they dumped the fluid. Thats when I got a new transmission because they said the bearings were bad and he told me to replace the fluid every 30K. I don't think the fsm says when to replace some of the fluids such as brake and clutch fluid. It just says inspect every so many miles so thats why i ask. For fluids I plan on using amsoil GL4 75w90 for the tranny and for the diff probably amsoil sever gear ep 75W90. I know the fsm says to use dot 3 for brake and clutch fluid. I have used valvoline synthetic dot 4 or 5 for the brakes so should I continue using that or is it possible to switch back to dot 3 (which I assume is not synthetic) for the brakes?
