Gear fluids I have from other cars can I use them in my 5speed/4.10 LSD?

yes- the bottles tell you which goes in which.

Also good for hair styling.

The 75w90 NS isn't good for LSDs. It's meant for open diffs. Doesn't have any friction modifiers etc.

Get some MTL for your trans and never look back.

This?

in my experience MTL and MT-90 are pretty interchangeable, and MT-90 goes into a g260 decently well.

unsure about your other juice. 75w90 is pretty generic and might be good in a diff. no idea what NS is.

I don't remember what car(s) they were for. I also have 2 Redline synth ATF bottles.

I want to refresh the fluids and figured if I had some that was correct already why buy more.

Thanks

75/90ns good for diff. Use the synth atf in the power steering. Fluid the reservoir every oil change to keep it nice and clean and not oxidized..

[parkerbink]

Thanks Ryan.

This is the ATF.

[M3 Ryan]

Thanks Ryan.

This is the ATF.

Any atf is good for e30 steering, the cheaper the better. If it leaks, use valvoline maxlife with stop leak. It's amazing for sealing up leaky racks/pumps etc for $6.

[parkerbink]

Good to know, the last two owners took care of leaks, one put in a e36 rack, new lines & pump and did all the seals, clutch and suspension. Only nigggle is it does not want to run.

Correct.

MTL and MT90 are GL-4 (synchro-safe) fluids. MTL is 75w80 and MT90 is 75w90.

75w90 is good for the diff, we use it in the endurance cars without issue, 75w90ns will make the diff chatter at low speeds, as the modifiers in it help worn diffs.

• Contains extreme pressure additives like our 75W90 GL-5 oil, but lacks friction modifiers to balance slipperiness
• Improved copper corrosion protection to prolong synchro life
• Helps with lock-up on weak limited-slip differentials-compatible with Red Line Limited Slip Friction Modifier for tuning slippage
• Also used with clutch-type LSDs in racing for maximum lock up

Most important thing is NEVER use GL-5 in a Getrag or ZF. It is yellow metal corrosive (synchros).
