I'm thinking this one- AMSOIL Severe Gear® 75W-90

because it's for performances based vehicles.

but there's also this one- AMSOIL Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube 75W-90

which looks like regular type of tranny fluid.

which should i go with?

Second one.

I love Amsoil with an undying passion.
All I've ever used for my trans/diff.
In my 300 and my 280

jamg · 01-07-2013, 03:40 AM

Check your local performance shops o:
I'm in Houston I go to my friend's shop and is able to get it for 14.50 a qurat

Yah, $12-14 is about the going rate for them per qt. Best bet is check the site for the closest dealer to you and buy it from there...

KoukiMonsta · 01-07-2013, 10:54 AM

Yupp I just bought 4 qts of it. Bout 12$ each.

But always worth it, been running this stuff in the sr tranny ever since it started grinding with whatever I used to use ( sorry I forget been a few years) also in the diff though that's just welded..
