Changing gearbox and diff oil over the weekend, thinking of using some Redline lightweight shockproof in the 'box and heavyweight in the diff

Anyone have any thoughts weather this is a good thing or not, or any recommendations?

It lasts longer than 5000km's have a look at the techinical data on the redlinde site they reckon that it was last up to 4 times the regular change interval. e.g on a normal car the service book states 60,000km change redline reckon it could last up to 240,000km's. maybe engine oil yes but not gear oil.

from personal experience. i think alot of people are feeling the 'placebo' effect of this oil. imho it is for race use only. i had to ditch it after about 4000km, it had turned to water and the box was grinding really really bad. i use a castrol fully synthetic now and its excellent.

interesting, as the place where I bought it says that they have used it in many cars, and have no problems at all. Everyone who I have spoken to locally have nothing but praise for the stuff

I guess there is only one way for me to find out if it will work for me

I will be sure to post the results up anyway

I have used the Redline Product (Lightweight shockproof) for both trans and diff. And would recommend it. My gearbox used to crunch 5th over 100 and wasn't smooth in changes, now 5th doesn't crunch no matter what speed and shifting could not be any smoother. I have had the stuff in my car for just under 5000. Still performing like the day I put it in.

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
