My '03 GTI still has the factory battery.

Shoulda bought an OEM one.

You're also in a slightly different climate than I am.

However, I bought a battery from Advance Auto, whose batteries are manufactured by Johnson Controls ( :fly: ), which also manufactures Nissan's OEM batteries. They might be the same, they might not be, but I'm happy either way.

I didn't actually check service records to see if they'd been done but I went ahead and changed diff + trans oils

Nasty.

Smears on the box aren't even 50% of what I wiped off of the drain plug

FWIW, all the 350Z guys I'm friends with swear by Redline MT90, not Motul.

But maybe it's just because Z owners are cheap fuckers? I dunno. MT90 made the grind between 3rd and 4th go away in my Z32, so it's in the Datsun and the GTO too.
 
It's not easy to research what's good and what isn't - - vaaaaaaaaast majority of owners are millennial retards.

Price diff between Motul and Redline is negligible, (motul might have even been more expensive!) it's just what I put into the MR2 Spyder before I sold it back.

The kid came by tonight and in a shocking display of gumption, stabbed the transmission. I had to go to work coaching, but he'd almost nailed it by the time I got back.

Tagged the car with "no oil/no gear oil", so that we don't do something stupid down the road.

I think there might be hope for it leaving my fuckin' yard soon.

Yup.

Stab enough transmissions laying in the driveway and you'll be motivated to get some education. At least enough to avail yourself of the facilities found in an actual shop if not the ability to just pay someone else to do it all together.

I dunno, I'm educated to fuck and back but I still enjoy playing in the dirt.

Eh, Dad is coming down for the Lake Shipp meet, its typically the second largest old boat guy meet in the US, but that still leaves Sunday.

Reminds me, though.
@APRIL @fly @Ledboots @Duke

Lake Shipp antique outboard meet this weekend. I usually get there 10ish. If you are interested in meeting me there let me know and I'll find you a boat ride or two with a couple guys I know.
