Change it to a good synthetic.

Thank you

Has anyone changed their transmission fluid and would they recommend doing it or leaving the factory fluid?

Does anyone know what screw head type or tool type you need to remove the drain and fill screws for the front and rear diff fluid? Also is Maxima Gear Oil 80w90 acceptable for the diffs?

NMKawierider I'm sorry I think I messed up on responding. Should I open those two bleeder valves on the cylinder while the engine is running or while the engine is off? And do you happen to have a picture of exactly which screws I'm not sure which ones they are. Thank you.

Should I bleed them while the engine is running or off?

Look for bleed screws on top of the thermostat housings for releasing trapped air.
Are they above the drain plug?
Right in the center of the caps on both cylinders. These bleed the air off the top end of each cylinder when changing the coolant.

Thank you. Was just strange how fast it overheated from a cold start. The fan is currently working I can hear it kicking on. Assuming there is air stuck in the lines.

I ran it idling for about 30 minutes. How would I find out if air was trapped in the pump and correct it?

I recently flushed the radiator and put in prestone radiator flush solution with distilled water. It ran fine while I ran it with the distilled water and radiator flush but after I drained that and replaced it with prestone 50/50 it overheats very quickly just standing still from a cold start. Any idea what this could be?
