Default In synthetic oil, V6 will use any 5w-40, 1.8t can use that or 5w-30 in winter.Trans oil only a GL-4

combo GL-4&amp;5 spec is ok, but never GL-5 like is commonly found retailed for gears, but not transmissions. Easy bet is Royal Purple 75-90 for diffs and trans or appropriate Redline product (mixed 50% MTL/50%MT90 for trans)
