I plan on using the Rhino ramps to give me some room up front and hopefully I can easily take care of the fluid. I ordered 6qrts since the manual calls for about 5.3qrts.

I bought the 75W90. Amazon had it for $15 per quart, plus no tax in CA.

I ordered Royal Purple Max Gear since I could find it on Amazon and it lists as GL-4 certified. Hopefully it works. Asked a few more places around and no one has a GL-4 only oil. Hopefully the Royal Purple works out. Thanks everyone for the help!

Interesting....just came from the dealer. They only use GL-5 and not GL-4. The dealer said that if I came in for a transmission flush they would only use GL-5. Thoughts? Else, I have to go find a place that sells GL-4.

Funny thing, could not find GL-4 at any local store. Called the dealer (Mossy Nissan in San Diego) and they have GL-4 75W-90 regular at $6.50 a quart and synthetic at $12.50 a quart. The guy even said that 3 quarts is enough for a full flush! This is the cheapest I have seen. Funny, never thought I would go to the dealer for anything.

Awesome! Thanks! Let me find the synthetic fluid online, will also look for the Lucas oil stabilizer. Is there a specific kind of stabilizer? Does it have to be GL-4 compliant?

I have a 1998 R50 with a manual transmission. In the shop manual it lists the manual transmission fluid as API GL-4 75W-90 only. However when I went to Kragen, Autozone, Napa Auto Parts - no one had a API GL-4 spec fluid. Even in their store computers it mentioned that GL-5 75W-90 COULD NOT be used. Any suggestions on either a brand/location to buy the API GL-4 fluid or thoughts on using the GL-5? Also want to know how much of the fluid is required? The store clerk mentioned 10 quarts! But that seems high. Thanks.
