Default manual gearbox and differential oil change

I'm back to the forum after a year in Iraq. I need to change the fluids in the manual gearbox and rear differential. I use Amsoil. What do members recommend? 99 C5. Thanks!

A friend and I just changed ours recently with Amsoil Universal synthetic (tranny fluid) and their SVG 75W-90 gear lube. I also picked up a pump, which made things really easy. You may need a 10mm hex bit to connect to your socket wrench. It is a very easy job.

Welcome back!

I use and recommend:
AMSOIL ATF
AMSOIL Severe Gear Extreme Pressure Synthetic 75w90

This comes in handy if you plan on doing this yourself: AMSOIL Hand Pump
