Redline Gear Oil

[Hijacker...]

Hi Guys n Girls, here's some up to date info on redline gear oils...

All-2001 GTS & GTS-T (single turbo) (R32,R33,R34) RB25 & RB25T Eng, 2500cc, 2WD

Component Recommended Oil / Fluid

Manual Gearbox Select your closest climate range. For -10°to25°C use 'MTL' or 5°to35°C use 'MTL' or 15°to50°C use 'Superlight Shock'. (* Advantage option for Performance / Racing use 'Lightweight Shockproof'.) @ see handbook for Litres Rear Diff Red Line '75W90' Gear Oil (* Advantage Option for Racing use Red Line 75W90) @ see handbook for Litres

SERVICING - GEARBOX, DIFF or AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: Change your oil at up to 4 times the current changeout period on conventional oil, depending on type, age & usage; else under warranty, change oil as per warranty specifications. Oil life may be extended in addition to this subject to oil analysis readings. (Testing may identify a mechanical or engineering failure, even when the Red Line oil is still in good condition!) Tip: Automatic Transmissions - Make sure a qualified transmission workshop not only changes your oil but gets all the oil out of the torque convertor as this can hold up to 4Ltrs of your contaminated previous brand oil.

UPDATE: from redline australia! The web site info is incorrect (American) the shockproof oils are fine for synchrmesh gear boxes... and they will be udating the web site to reflecting this updated info...

"superlight" for hard driving/track use.

"lightweight" for normal street/track use.

"heavyweight" for normal street use.

Hopefully this clears things up!

[markimak]

Is that right? Seems back to front eg "superlight" for normal street use?

[SkyKC]

thats correct. MT90 has the appropiate friction modifiers.

Thanks Chris, Good to know I made a correct decision.

is nulon N70 is ok to use with MT90? anyone knows? just wondering if I add Nulon N70 will it be a extra benifit or not?

I wouldn't use Nulon, even as weed killer.

hhehehe realy ,, thats cool, id didnt use it either, just changed to MT90 oil yesterday, so far so good............hopefuly this oil will look after the gear box for longer period.

ive got nulon N70 in my box.. the box couldnt be smoother or slicker. u obviously have never tried N70 b4 Teflon is the slippierst compound known to man :\

[MrStabby]

If you use a cheapie oil then the Nulon might be worthwhile, but with the good stuff like Redline they will have already put all the additives in so there's no need. You might actually go a bit backwards as you will upset Redline's balance of the additive concentrations. That's the theory at least. Ring them if you want first hand info.

[Bumblebee]

i use redline.. and while they use awesome additives.. they dont use teflon. nothing comes close to teflons friction removing properties hahahah nothing at all.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I was using N70 with Pnzoil gear oil before.....and then this crunching problem appeared, after redline MT90, its all gone now....without N70 hehehe

Really? Then why do DuPont claim "Teflon is not useful as an ingredient in oil additives or oils used for internal combustion engines."?

This is interesting....

[GTS20X]

That's why i wouldn't use Nulon as it contains Telfon which will burn at the temperatures inside the engine, gearbox & diff.
