Changing gear oil

A&Q about 350Z
Q:



Can anyone tell me how difficult (or easy) it is to change the gear oil in the 350Z? Also, what gear oil do you use? Any special tools?

Thanks!

A:



Make sure the car is level. Both drain and fill plugs are 10mm hex drive.

I found this oil by accident but had not been able to find again at any other store. That store (Karparts) went out of business and up went a Walmart!
Make sure your transmission gear oil is rated GL-4. The diff oil is GL-5

I heard good things about Specialty Formulations

Will try MTL-P in another 20k

If you are as anal as I am, order a magnetic drain plug for your transmission

3022M size for your transmission
1040M for your engine oil drain
