Just use Mobil 1 or another good synthetic. Why pay a ridiculous price for japanese oil that probably came from the US anyways.

I've been using Redline for about 2 years with my Nismo 2-way and have had no problems. I started off with the 75w90 and now I've been using the 80w140. What you really need to keep in mind is the frequency of oil changes. Some people even run valvoline synthetic blend, but the thing is, they change it out every 3k and before/after every event. As long as you change it often, you should have no problem. I change about every 5k and after every event.
I've never ran Kaaz oil in mine and I think I have heard bad things about running Kaaz oil in non-Kaaz lsd's or was it running Redline in Kaaz lsd's...

Running synths in Kaaz and tomei LSD's are bad. The fluid coats the clutch discs making them slip all the time.

Like I said, use a good synthetic: Mobil 1 or Redline. Kaaz Oil is not synthetic.

Redline, I steal from Dousan. (Gimme more, bitch!)
Like Flybert said, Kaaz oil is non-synthetic, Nismo diffs are made to run synthetics. Thus Kaaz oil stays for Kaaz/Cusco LSD.

I called them and they don't have any in the U.S. I'm just gonna pick up some Red Line later on today because this oil NEEDS to be changed. thanks and even though my mechanic was saying not to use Red Line, and only NISMO, I have no other choice to get the oil into the states without paying a rediculous amount and having to wait a couple weeks. I thank you all for your responses and just plan on changing the diff oil every 3k anyways or sooner if I go to events.

The only reason why a Nismo Diff > Kaaz is the fact that you can use anything synthetic in it.
Just change the oil when the diff makes noise.

I used Motul at first and the thing got LOUD as shit!!!
Switched to Redline and its now back to being as quiet as it was when it was first installed.
