I would like to start a thead where all we do is ID our fluids in our car ... just to see what everone is using, Like this: 1994 348 spider (56k miles) Gear oil: Changed from stock to Redline 90w/75NS (Slight improvment) Engine oil: Always used Mobile 1 synthetic 10W30 (No Difference) Coolant: Always used Prestone (No difference) No other comments ... just a quick fluids review

Black 1990 348 TB (23k) Gear oil: Redline 90w/75NS (Big improvement especially the second time is changed the tranny oil!) Engine oil: I started with Mobile 1 synthetic 10W30 and had low oll pressure at idle and excessive foaming. I switch to Royal Purple 10w30 and it works great! Coolant: Always used Prestone (I occasional had a slight coolant leak with my bran new water pump 50 Prestone/50 water mix at start up. After going to a 30 Prestone/70 water mix the leak stopped???)

1996 F355 GTS Engine Oil: German Castrol 0W30 ( Oil pressure normal, Oil temp 190, biggest difference; the engine quit using oil....completely). Tranny : Redline 90/75NS (Definitely better shifting...not as "balky" when cold) Coolant: Pentosin G11 Brake Fluid: Castrol SRF

1999 F355 Spider F1 Just had my 30k and I know nothing about gear oils. My mechanic used the following: Gear Oil: Redline 75w90 NS--Holy Smokes! NO jerkiness in the F1 and shifts like butter! Engine oil: Lubro Moly 5w40 Synthetic I have no idea what other fluids he used for coolant, etc. Um...why is my Redline 75w90 and other people's on here seems to be 90w75 NS?????
