Default Fluid Reccomendations. Such an improvement!

Okay I put this tuff in my car...I will list what I was using before and what I changed it to and I can tell you right now there is such a difffrence it's rediculous.

Used Before:
Limited Slip Diffreiential Gear Oil: Unknown but I have a feeling its never been changed. Had a slight burn smell to it but no metal in drained fluid so thats good.
Automatic Transmission Fluid: Dexron II
Motor Oil: Mobil One Full Synthetic 10W-40

Okay that being said, Mobile One is considered to be one of the best synthetic to use. I am anal about changing my oil on time. Anyway here is what I did:

Changed to:
LSD Gear Oil: Royal Purple 85W (Toyota Suggs 90W, but 85W is what you should use)
ATF: Dexron II with 1.7QT's of Trick Shift Synthetic (from draining the pan)
Motor Oil: Royal Purple Full Synthetic 10W-40

I can tell you right now that after doing these things I noticed right away the diffrence. My tranny feels like a performance transmission, my LSD performs better than I think it ever has. And the motor oil, well I can tell you that my engine is quieter. My transmission even sounds better. Mind you when I drained the tranny fluid from the pan it was a nice red color with no metal shards or anything so my tranny was performing as it should. But now the shift points seem better and it downshifts Immediatly when putting the accelerator all the way down. So my suggestion is shell out the extra cash it pays off. My acceleration has improved a gripload to.
Please note:
DO NOT USE TRICK SHIFT REGULAR! OUR AUTO TRANNYS ARE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED YOU MUST USE THE SYNTHETIC TRICK SHIFT!
Right now I am going to go buy some more trick shift and drain the pan again and add more Trick Shift Synthetic. B&M (the makers of Trick Shift) say it acts better as a standalone but can be used as an additive. I hope this helps some of you.
