Its about that the time to change my fluid and i was searching around . I noticed alot of people here were using non oem oil which is the route im heading . so my question is what is the difference between GL-4 and GL-5 oil ? the service manual says GL-4 but i heard other people using mobil 1 or vavoline .

omgivec

dont use mobil 1, alot of people are using royal purple synchro shift they say it works great on RA's

i would look at AMSOIL. i use it on my Evo and i noticed a huge difference in shifting compared to stock and redline MT90. it shifts alot smoother. send apagan01 a PM and he can hook you up!

I can attest to this.
I had M1S in my RA for a week, it was a nightmare.
It was too slippery for the synchros to catch properly and nothing was going as planned.

I switched over to sychromax by RP and its been problem free since then.
Im about due for my next change over I believe ... Im up to 80K clicks in the cage.


for the amount. I believe i bought 3 quarts and just filled it to the brim,
but if you are looking for specs, otter sure is the man.

OOPPPSSS can i use Royal Purple Max gear, it says on the bottle gl-5 or 7, and is also says good for all 5 speed trans....?? I thaught syncromax was for automatic thats why i chose max-gear?

I use Redline MT-90 and I love it. Although the BG Syncro shift is great as well.

GL-5's are too slippery for your synsros. I would change it to a GL-4. It suck to have to change it but better than toasting your syncros.

If you guys cant find BGII, you can also try Penzoil (synchromesh??). I've been running a combination of it and Royal Purple for about 15000 and it has been a lot better than with the factory stuff. I have to admit though, that I can feel the difference in the engagement when the oil is cold vs. when its hot.

I say Redline MT-90 first time I used it I noticed a good improvement in shifting
