Redline MTL... Yummy

[Jean]

Ended up using Redline MTL in my g260/6 and it shifts like butter, I am not hearing a tranny noise etc...

How are ya'll pump the oil in the tranny and diff?

ya'llllllll seem to do it this way...

either buy a pump/turkey baster type thing and fill and purge into the tranny. Or run a hose behind the motor underneath the firewall into the tranny tunnel to the fill hole. Use a funnel at your end of the hose, fill till done. Gonna try method two later today...

uh, they make pumps for this.. they cost like $15.

I bought a transfer pump from Harbor Freight Tools for $5.99. Worked perfect!

just get creative with a tube and a hose clamp, and squeeze the bottle, and the goo goes up the tube

says off redlines website

75W90 NS GL-5 Gear Oil

* Designed for transmissions and transaxles - helps to slow synchros for easier shifting across a broad temperature range
# Contains extreme pressure additives like our 75W90 GL-5 oil, but lacks friction modifiers to balance slipperiness
# Improved copper corrosion protection to prolong synchro life
# Helps with lock-up on weak limited-slip differentials-compatible with Red Line Limited Slip Friction Modifier for tuning slippage
# Also used with clutch-type LSDs in racing for maximum lock up

MTL 70W80 GL-4 Gear Oil

* Popular in manual transmissions and transaxles like BMW (before 1993), Honda and Acura, Ford Focus, late-model Mini Cooper, Dodge & Jeep NV 1500, 3500, and 5600

Is that of concern for our diffs? Royal Purple has the friction modifiers I believe.

[nando]

you want their regular 75w90, NS stands for the version without friction modifiers

[Jean]

Thanks! I'll pick up 2 qts.

So for my old tranny, 75w90 (Redline) will be good? Or that 70w80, like Jean mentioned eariler.

[nando]

75w90 for the diffs, 70w80 for the transmission, although you can put 75w90NS in the transmission too.

I'm using redline "shock proof" in my transfercase. that shit is fucking nasty.

[Jean]

nando - picked up two bottles of regular redline 75w90 for the diff today per your suggestion :)

i do this but flip te bottle poke a hole in the bottle and shove a air gun(whatever you wanna call it) regulated at like 20psi then just watch the goo go in seeconds :)

also does the g240 use same stuff?

joe's sports was going out of business so i stocked up on some royal purple 5w30 motor oil and some how ended up with two atf oil(bottles look the same). Anyway since i have the oil will it be ok to put ATF in my tranny? I have a 91 g260 if that makes any difference. The answer is probably yes, but I just wanted to make sure it's legit
