Recommendation on STi 6 spd trans/front diff fluid
Which brand of aftermarket transmission/ front diff fluid should I get? Is 6 quarts enough for the fluid change? I heard it's rather crucial to use the right kind of fluid on the 6 speed, thanks for any input.

I think it had to do with the sulfur content or something in RHD that could potentially harm the gears or synchros... But if it's working fine so far you might as well stick with it. I still like my HD...

Do not use Red Line 75w90 - use the 75w90ns. I use, personally, a mix of 2 quarts MT-90 and 2 quarts Superlight Shockproof. It works beautifully.

For those who actually read this thread I wanted to cross-reference the post on NEO Gear Oil (along with the only RHD vs. HD discussion besides this one).

I'm running Valvoline synpower 75-90 and absolutely love it. I had Mobil1 in there for about 5000 miles and it was the most horrible thing ever.
