Hey guys thinking about changing the oil on my 5speed was wondering which brand and which grade you reccomend. I'd like to keep my car full Mobil 1 synth if possible but if you got something better lined up let me know I can always use info (especially on the grade).

Peace.

 

Mobil 1 fully synthetic 75w-90 is in my car now, which is just fine.

However, next time I change it, I'll probably go with some Redline MTL or something similar. I've heard really good things from Redline and Royal Purple (actually seen an improvement in dyno #'s from Royal Purple).

By the way, use 1.5 litres.

 

Thanks for the reply.

One more thing tho I was told 2 1/2 quarts is what goes in can anyone validate?

 

I read that Redline Gear Oil was really good for trasmissions, but i think its expensive.

 

Redline=the shiz. Worth the money

 

My bad, it is 2.4 litres. (per the FSM)

 

Redline isn't anymore expensive than Mobile One Synthetic. You shouldn't use Mobile One in the tranny though, it's a GL-5 oil and is corrosive to the brass syncros in the tranny.

 

I've heard good things about Redline. I just changed mine this past weekend so hopefully it will be good. Won't know until I take it out of storage sometime in April.

I can't remember how much I paid but it wasn't too expensive. It's not like you're changing it all the time anyway.
