    Hello guys, thank you for all your suggestions. All fluids changed.
    Don’t you feel Mt90 is a bit too light, like more liquid than other transmission oils? Its my first time using it.
    Thank you.

    From what I've seen, the only prep work required is to hit any flaking surface rust with a wire brush before spraying Fluid Film. FF stops the chemical process of rust from happening. Like it was said above, you need to hit it yearly because it wears/washes off over time. YouTube has some videos of how to prep the surface and apply it.

    Thank you. Yes Sir, started today. The only variant i did was the very minor rust spots were I found some deterioration, i used a wire brush, sprayed with rust-oleum rust reformer, will wait until dry and then will spray and hit over everything with Fluid Film. Hopefully will be good.

    If you can't 100% verify the last time the fluids were serviced go ahead and change it all, you can't change fluids too often but you can change them not often enough!
