Gear Box And Diff

[WET-25T]

Hey guys, about 2 months ago i searched for what oils are best for my gear box and diff but had no solid answer, just what guys are using in their own cars.

My car is a r33 series 2 gtst manual, and i need to know asap because auto barn has a 20% sale store wide this weekend so i need to buy it this weekend.

My question is what is the best oil for my gear box and diff, so i can go buy it and save some cash.

Thanks.

Most swear on red-line Shock proof.

Do a quick search on here.....

I myself run it on my car...both diff and gear box....give it 400k's and you will feel the difference.

Hope i have been of some help.....

Cool i was kind of leaning towards redline, except i read something about it not being good for the syncros or something in a r33 gear box.

Well since you have used it, whats your opinoin of your gear box and diff since using it? Obviously its easier to tell the difference with the gear box compared to diff.

Also how many litres did you use in the gear box and how many litres in the diff if you remember, so i know how many litres to buy.

Cheers mate

As far as my understanding goes, the redline shockproof oil is supposed to be good in old/worn out gearboxes it's kinda like a bandaid while you save the money for the new parts the box needs?

I use the castrol synthetic stuff to suit.

hey is this sale on all autobarn??

Iv said it before, but Redline in my 19yo g.box completely transformed it. I'm no gear box rebuilder and it could very well be harmful to it somehow.

Highly recommended for older units.

agreed, i use it in every car that the customers car that can afford it and over 10years i have never had a complaint..... or a damaged box because of the oil selection.

GeeTR even in fresh boxes ive never had an issue.... PPG would not warrant thier boxes without it

RodMonsta as far as i know, yes it is every autobarn with the 20% store wide sale but only this weekend.

Cheers.
