What.... why...

[TurboJake]

Because he likes to spend a lot of money on oil for no real benefit.
'nuff said

Off topic, but someone told be about using ATF in the power steering pumps on old Mercedes....now you mention it here. What's the deal with that, am I really that much of a newb to not know about using ATF as power steering fluid?

ACTUALLY! A lot of manufacturers recommend it. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head that recommend their own special power steering fluid that is not atf is honda. Always check your owners manual. Off the top of my head I know Ford, Chevy, Dodge, All of their subsidiaries, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan and Toyota recommend their versions of Dex/Merc in the power steering system.

Well I had redline in my trans and I felt a noticeable improvement when I put royal purple in. For gear oil it's about the same price as redline so I'm not sure why people are saying overpriced crap?

I can buy two quarts of redline MTL here in town for the price of one quart of royal purple......

(both) differential fluids??? Where is the second differential on a cabrio?

[MR 325]

I'm more of a $3 a quart kind of guy. Just change often and as needed. :)

Overpriced and not worth it junk.
I had ROYAL PURPLE in my trans. It would lock me out of second gear in the cold. No beuno.
Redline fixed that right quick.

Upgrade to a better base oil
Use ATE Super blue for your brakes
Use the recommended ATF for your power steering
Valvoline with LSD additive works great for the diff
And stop trying to peddle ROYAL PURPLE. It's overpriced lower quality garbage that needs to have the most possible hits to this website so that James can make more money than ROYAL PURPLE should.

Thanks so much for your input ill take those into consideration.

No im not, DONT judge me.

sorry that was supposed to go next to the power steering/trans fluid cuz they both use ATF.

Thanks, why do you say mobil1?

I use castrol synthetic/mobil 1 synthetic... It's only around $25 for a 5 quart container at Wal-mart. Everyone in my area using Redline has had no complaints so it must be good stuff.
