Hijacker... Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 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. http://www.redlineoil.com.au/oil-finder.asp 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!

260DET Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 "superlight" for hard driving/track use. "lightweight" for normal street/track use. "heavyweight" for normal street use Is that right? Seems back to front eg "superlight" for normal street use?

Bumblebee Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 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 :\ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/190062-redline-gear-oil/#findComment-3739760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStabby Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 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.

GTS20X Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 That's why i wouldn't use Nulon as it contains Telfon which will burn at the temperatures inside the engine, gearbox & diff.
