What fluids have you been using in your transmission and transfer case & rear diff?

Im at 120k in my car. Trans has only seen Pensoil Syncromesh and TC and rear Diff have only ever seen Diaqueen.

THought I'd throw in another 100,000k+ MR.

'05 MR.

114,000 miles.
Have used Castrol Syntorq in the tranny since 12,000 miles
Redline Heavyweight Shockproof in the TC
Redline 75W/90 gear oil in the rear diff
Mobil 1 in the engine

Motor still runs great. 6 speed reverse is a little funky since I rear ended a lady after she pulled in front of me. That's about it. Car is awesome.

I've also been curious to add a magnetic drain plug, but we've got the oil temp sensor in our drain plugs. I wonder if we can somehow move it to the oil filter housing and then run a magnetic drain plug in the oil pan. Hmm...

i've been to florida in the car once, dallas a few times, houston a bunch of times, beaumont, lafayette, baton rouge (where i live now)... i take a lot of road trips, and i just drive for fun. When i get off work sometimes, like today, i'll go home, take a shower, get dressed, and me and the Mrs will just go out driving, or if she's at work i just go on my own. doesn't matter what time of day or night, i just love driving. won't be long before i hit the 150k mark lol

+1 cars were meant for driving!
