jona1986 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I am recently thinking to use Willall oil for my major service. However my friend is talking me into not using it because he knows people who have a sensor fail in the gearbox after using Willall oil. He also said that Willall oil causes the rear LSD to have excessive noice. Has anyone experienced these? Or fine in a long run after using Willall oils? Please advise whether it is good to go ahead or not.

I wont go on about it, I will let those that have spent their own hard earned give their own real world experiences Well I have done a bit of read up and most people seem to be happy with the WR oil apart from the warranty issue. I am still leaning towards using Willall oil after hearing what my friend has told me. However since I am new to the GTR world so thats why I am asking it here...

g35me Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I am running Willall trans oil and have no issues. I have Willall diff oil sittng in the garage ready to go in as well. Martin has top quality products and his willingness to help out over the phone is awesome.

ecl Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I will most likely be moving to the Willall transmission fluid after my warranty runs out. My GTR tech is against it but I have heard good things about it. I am currently on OEM. I am also getting my transmission fixed under warranty in a few weeks. It was already a bit of a battle with getting the warranty approved on OEM fluids (consisted of multiple visits to the HPC, sound and video clips, complaints to Nissan Australia etc). I do not if I would have had the same outcome if I was on Willall though?

GT-R OZ Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I think once your R35 is out of warranty, using Willall products is a no brainer!

ecl Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Could you elaborate what the symptons of your tranny were? Loud rattle (sounds like marbles) during acceleration from standstill or slow speeds (between 900-1300 rpm). At idle, there is rattling but it's the 'normal' rattling and nothing like the ones in NAGTROC. There are no noises in park/neutral revving. Gets annoying/embarrasing when I am in start/stop traffic or parking and I need to step on the accelerator often as the rattle appears. Currently, there is prop shaft play but within tolerance. Noise appeared a month ago and getting louder. Have done 0 launches.

Martin Donnon Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ecl, sounds like your bell-housing needs fixing. Have your Nissan 'tech' unbolt the prop-shaft from the back of it, then check the freeplay - it will be excessive Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407952-willall-transmission-oil-diff-oil-thoughts/#findComment-6515965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have your Nissan 'tech' unbolt the prop-shaft from the back of it, then check the freeplay - it will be excessive Martin, are you aware of the same bellhousing issue with the 2010's and beyond? I have the usual rattles as well, and while stationary in gear only a very very slight rattle when the car is hot, but nothing noticeable above 2000rpms. Of course in P or N after the car is stationary and hot parked in my garage after a run, the rattle is fairly noisy, but not excessive like some youtube vids. I am however hearing a very very very faint higher pitched rattle somewhere in the back while driving @ 60+ kph on fairly smooth roads though (definitely not the brake pad rattle) - not sure if this is the seat belt housing issue others have experienced, or something else under the car. The Nissan tech mentioned it at the last service and said to keep an ear on it if it gets any louder they'll investigate further. Its not loud though, and certainly hasn't increased in volume - for all I know its probably just the fly wheel and normal sounds. My GTR has also had 0 launches (that I know of ), so not currently too worried about it.

I hate the brake pad rattle, and get embarrassed when travelling thru the brisbane city and run over 10 bazzillion bumps in the road I can hear the clanging noise echo off the buildings.... farks sake..

Yeah, that is bad as well. I drive on the motorway where is basically a wall on one side and construction happening. I get to hear the rattle pretty much every day =( Martin - yeah, Nissan is offering the replacement so it's all good =) hopefully they give me the newer model bellhousing. The dealer said they only have 1 part number that they order from. Also, they can now do it without dropping the engine.

Please advise whether it is good to go ahead or not. Thanks I'm running all Willall fluids in an Alpha 12 setup that puts out significantly more power than stock. No issues at all at his end. I think your friend is relying on a lot of heresay and has not used the Willall fluids. Make the change, you won't be dissapointed.
