Alright guys I just swapped in my CA18DET and I have 2 questions for putting fluids back in.
1.) What fluid brand and viscosity should I be running in your ca18 transmission?
2.) Also what clutch fluid brand and viscosity should I be running?

Any answers, opinions, and tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Get Redline MTL or MT-90 for the gearbox. Any GL-4 oil will work tough.
If I don't remember wrong you are supose to use Dot 3 or higher brake fluid for the clutch. I use Motul RBF600

Kind of overkill to use a racing brake fluid for the clutch, but wth!?
