Here's a past thread that may offer some insight. Some people use a 50-50 mix of of MTL and MT90 for GL-4 gear oil.
How many miles? I have an 07 CE 5MI've been lurnking on here for a while (first post) and find the site extremely usefull. One thing I couldn't find is manual transmission fluid recomendations.
The owners manual states to use 75W-90 GL-4 or GL-5 fluid. I know GL-5 can be corrosive to some brass parts.
I do drive the car hard every one in a while but mainly easy, any recomendations or experiences with a particular gear lube?
Thanks.
Why would you change it so soon? Mine is over 35,000 and is fine - I normally change manual tranny fluid at 60,000.It just hit 22,000 miles.
I purchaced the car used and while the car is in great shape I don't trust people to do the maint. on their cars. I'm in the process of changing out all the fluid for peace of mind knowing I'm running the best/correct fluids in the car.Why would you change it so soon?

Maybe not anal, but it's definitely a good idea to get the initial wear metals out of the transmission. Sure there's a magnet, but it won't catch everything.Four letter word.... A _ _ L
