Bingo. Leave it more complex like a numbered VW spec, and we got to see a bunch of VWs and Audis up here serviced with GTX 5w-30 instead of the OE Professional.
MolaKule said:NemesisBob: I'd say that's a pretty decent price you came across. Even the cheapest mineral based drivetrain fluids typically cost more than that around here. That's why I had no qualms with using RP differential fluid, since it was actually cheaper than a bunch of other more mainstream options.
Yeah, I would not use 75W-90 on a Nissan 6 speed. I believe there was a TSB that told dealers not to use it, since early G35/350Z's had it as an option in the factory service manual.
I took some photos of the Nissan 75W-80, Made in Belgium (PN KE916-99935), parts guy said it's a semi synthetic. Thought I'd leave it here for others since in all my research never new this was an OEM option, and reasonably priced too.
I also found a link to the MSDS, maybe there is enough viscosity information for MolaKule to enter it on his manual gear oil list. It would have steered me towards this oil no question. Would be good for those -25c mornings we get up here routinely in the winter.
