I just replaced my tranny oil with Mobile 1 synthetic 75-90 weight. It really makes it much easier to shift. ANyone else try it and if so how does it feel?

 

Mine has Amsoil 10/30 syncromesh gear lube (put in by Nissan) and mine shifts smooth as butter......

 

I have redline mt-90 in my 6spd....shifts oh so smooth!

 

Straight GL-5 or GL-4/5?

 

I only use/recommend Redline MT90 or Amsoil GL4 in Nissan manual transmissions.

 

mt-90, where can i order this and how much do i need to order.

 

Google it and u should be able to find a place to order it from. You need 3 bottles but you will only use about 2 1/2 I think. Mines getting put in this saturday.

 

Mine took 2 1/2 bottles

 

I believe that the Mobil 1 trannie fluid you are using is NOT the proper spec = GL 4. In the long-run, if it is not GL 4, it will be bad for your trannie. You need to get it replaced with a straight GL 4 fluid like Amsoil or Redline.

 

I was gonna say this but im still unsure if that oil is gl4 or not.

 

DeUs, I think you may have just voided your warranty on your tranny. Unsure though, but defintely with the autos, if you don't use what nissan recommends then say by by to warranty

 

NO HE DIDNT!!

He has 6Sp. Dont post if you dont have a clue.

esp when the car isn't warmed up and during cold weather...

 

He never answered my question. I am pretty sure Mobil doesn't make a straight GL-4, so the question still remains, was it a GL-4/5, or worse, a straight GL-5?

I personally don't buy long term buffer protection given by GL-4/5 combos, regardless whether you're keeping the car "til it dies" or trading the problems in.

There is a reason Amsoil brought back straight GL-4 gear oil; plenty of demand from people like me who don't want to risk it.

 

I used Redline manual tranny on my 6spd Supra and it shift really smooth. My '02 max is auto used Penzoil tranny fluid.

 

lol, u think ur cars going to run better because a representative of nissan POURED amsoil in your car? Clown..

 

Any long term issues arise from your 75-90 fluid? I have just bought 3 bottles of Lucas 75-90 full synthetic.

Anyone can fill me in on how to drain the old kife?

Kife, so this Lucas stuff is KIFE,

I'm oredering AMSOIL 75-90 tommorow. I cant tell no diff in the new Synthetic Lucas stuff from the old stuff.
