    2005 ZHP Convertible - diff fluid recommendations

    Not finding it here and have to ask - what is the recommended diff fluid for these cars?

    Looked in the owner's manual and - oh oops, they no longer list what the recommended fluid(s) are. Tried searching here and didn't find it either (could be I'm a terrible searcher...) so figured I would ask.

    75w 90w? (I have RedLine on hand)

    Something other?

    Thanks,

    75W90 GL-5 from Red Line will do the job for you. Be sure the fill plug can be removed before loosening the drain plug!

    FCPeuro diff kit is a good option. Comes with fluid and new plugs.
