    Try to buy the transmission fluid for my DT12 transmission but all I found was "gear oil 75w-90" ,wondering if it's the same thing.Also can I use the same type of oil (gear oil 75w-90) for the differential? Thank you.

    Thank you everyone for information.
    One more question. My DT12 transmission come with 750,000 miles warranty. Does it mean, it doesn't require any oil cange up until 750,000 mile?

    Your car had a "bumper to bumper" warranty for 3 years/36,000 miles. Did you have to change the oil in it during that time?

    A warranty covers stuff that breaks due to manufacturing defects. Lack of proper maintanence will void a warranty nearly 100% of the time.

    Just to be clear if you do this yourself. You must use transmission lubricant. Not!!!!!!!! 75w90 gear lube. They are not the same thing. Take the time to look at the fluid specs and get the correct lube.
