anyone running amsoil tranny fluid in there 5 speed evo x's tranny and transfercase? if so what exact kind of amsoil tranny fluid?

 

I just ordered a case of their SSO (engine oil), 3 quarts of MTG (for my tranny) and 2 quarts of SVG (for my transfer case and diff) along with an oil filter for my Evo and an oil filter for my scuby.

I changed the oil in the scuby, but I still need to do the Evo. It's my project for the week.

Very good fluids ^^^

 

Did AMSOIL discontinue their MTL? I didn't see it on their website last time I was on there.

 

look under the transmission fluid tab / link not gear lubes

 

Yeah, I see MTF (5W-30) but didn't AMSOIL sell a 70W-80 or 75W-80 trans fluid marked 'MTL'? Maybe I'm thinking of the RedLine MTL...

 

no MTL

MTG GL4 75w90 yes we have ,, it superceeds Red Line in any test

 

i dont superceed is the right word to use in that sentence, but what he means is, it is superior .... damn palm bay guys hahahaha

 

Superceed my brother means it overcomes or is more important than
Engineering term

 

typically used when replacing a previous version in the same line of equipment from the same manufacturer

You're still cool with me, its not everyday you find another hometown guy in the community. Where did you go to school at ? when ?

 

Bummer, I've been running the MTG for ~14,000 mi, but have been wanting to try something closer to the stock spec (75w-80.)

 

Right....that's why I'm going to use Redline MTL. That is closer to stock spec than the Amsoil. My friend who runs the Redline highly recommended it. He says it really takes the notchiness out and shifts smooth. The Amsoil is a bit heavier than stock fluids so it will shift harder when cold. It is fine when warm though.

My plan is Redline MTL for the tranny and Diaqueen OEM for the tcase and diff.

 

Is it worth importing it to the Philippines for my X? Or is it too much trouble and for me to settle with Motul, Mobil 1...etc?
