What other tranny fluid is GOOD. I can't get this Amsoil stuff without ordering it! What's the rumors on the best over the counter Dexron III? Thanks again Gents!

 

I like Valvoline maxlife..

 

+1.
i used VI full synthetic and it was great! till the bearing on the in put shaft went

 

i'm ok with Mobil1 ATF...but i prefer Amosil.
if i had to change it, i would order it and wait for the amosil. that's how good this stuff is.

 

Currently running Royal Purple I believe 75w90 GL4? spent about 70 on it but people say its worthwhile.

Will be giving RedLine a shot when it comes to changing the fluid. How often should this be changed on a manual trans?

 

75w90 is gear lube..he's looking for ATF.
redline gear lube is top notch.

 

According to the info on the back of the bottle, it said it is a direct replacement for nissanmatic-D. dunno if it's true or not, but i went with it anyway..

 

There are AMSoil dealers out there. I'm sure you have one locally, you just have to look.

 

I bought my Amsoil tranny fluid at Joe's (used to be called G.I. Joes) It cost $12.99 each plus tax.

 

Sry didn't read well. That tranny fluid i bought was for manual transmission, But Joe's sells Amsoil ATF fluid as well think it was $10 bucks a quart.

 

However, I think GI Joe's is only in the Northwest. I am not sure where the OP is from.

I think there are some people on this site who sell Amsoil.

The first time I put it in my tranny, I think MrGone bought it from someone. Might have to double check with him, though. Maybe he got it at Joe's, too.

 

what is so good about amsoil for manual trannies? im new at this stuff. i have regular gear oil in my tranny but i am curious to know what is the purpose and why its better than plain gear oil? which amsoil should i get for my 5-speed tranny? haven't changed the fluid since i did the swap i think back in '04?

 

It says nothing about it being compatable with DEX III
