Lightbulb redline mtf V6?

I bought redline MT-90 for the transmission.. I got 6qts @ 10.99 each.. Yuck!!!! This will work correct? I need to do the rear and tranfer case too.. can I use the same oil>?
Sorry I would have posted in the other man trans post but its for a I-4 not a 6.... I will be doing this in a day or two so I have time to rectify problems...
Thanks much gear heads!!!

MT90 is a great lube for Nissan manual trannys.
Do not use in the axles.

They require a GL5 lube.
Redline makes great gear oils for the diffs as well that meet the GL5 requirments.

Im not sure ,but the transfer case most likely takes ATF.

I ran MT90 in my 97 Hardbody ,and it worked great ,and I also run it in my 93 Hardbody.

I used it in my Fronty ,and it hated it ,but that trans had only about 4k on it so I think it had something to do with break in.
Had to get a new Tranny at 21k.

I put Nissan fluid back in the Fronty for about 10k miles ,and then went to Amsoil GL4 Manual Trans Lube.
That works great!

The Hardbody 4cyl have the same trans as 1st gen 4 cyl Frontys so Im certain the MT90 would work great in my Fronty now that the trans has 26k on it.
You should see similar results with your 6 cyl trans.

Most likely you Transfer case take Dex3 ATF.

thanks man! ill post with how it goes!

WOW!! what a differance! It shifts like a new truck! I thought I was having clutch issues because it would click into 2nd and 3rd.. no more!!!! It was easier than I thought it would be too.. However, I would highly recomend that people invest in a good transfer pump... I bought a plastic valvoline one that was suposed to screw into the top of a qt.. yeah every other bottle but not Redline! lol it worked but it was a lot of pumping and trying not to spill or have the filler tube come out.....
