Talking Which diff and trans fluid should I use??

HEY! GUYS.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME POST ON I-CLUB, AND I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION. WHICH DIFF AND TRANS FLUID SHOULD I USE AND WHERE I CAN GET THEM????????????
MY CAR IS HITTING 30,000 MILES AND I WANT TO DO MY TUNEUP MYSELF. I HEARD SOMETING ABOUT 75W90 REDLINE WHICH MESS UP OUR REAR DIFF. IS THAT TRUE? BECAUSE I JUST ORDER 5QT FROM MY FRIEND'S PERFORMANCE SHOP, BUT THEY SAY IT IS BACKORDER RIGHT NOW. SO I MAY HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER WEEK OR TWO. GUYS, HELP ME OUT HERE. BEFORE IT ARRIVES.

WELL ORWRX YOU SHOULD USE THE BIGGEST BOTTLES OF DIFF AND TRANS FLUID YOU CAN FIND BECAUSE IT WILL GO WELL WITH YOUR BIG LETTERS

The rule seems to be that the stock juices are the best. (Except maybe for crankcase fluids)

Hey, Killaho
Thanks for help with the site
I just look it up and It said something that I got confused
They recommended to use MT-90 redline in trans, but MT-90 is only a GL-4 fluid and I thought we have to use something with GL-5 or better in it, please help me out

Sigh. I'm sorry I got your panties in a bunch. I was joking around, man. Big letters make me, laugh, what can I say. Roll with it. If you can't, well, I apologize.... FWIW, I gave you some good advice that I've learned over time.

Funny how for the most part people jump to the ***-u-mption that I'm trying to put you down, all but completely ignoring the actual advice... never thinking that I'm just including you in our usual fun of ripping on eachother.... besides, you did do something retarded


(edited for spelling... I wouldn't want to be made fun of :P)
