Is anyone out there using Motul synthetic gearbox and diff oil? What products are you using specifically and what has been your experience. I am looking at (for the gearbox) Gear 300 75W90, or Motylgear 75W90. What grade oil does the diff use? I am assuming 75/90 too.

I am very happy with the 300V for the engine and thought I would give Motul a go at my gearbox and diff. I DO NOT want to hear about Redline.

I have searched and only found vague information re: motul gear oils.

thanks

I have Motul gear300 oil in the gearbox. before it i had castrol in there, and i must say the difference was amazing. Alot of the notchiness went, and the gears feel alot smoother. But i'm goin to go for a better gearbox oil on my next change

Hey there mate, I have an S15 which is about to go in for a FULL service(diff, gearbox,brakes, plugs, radiator etc). I went for Motul 8100 XS 5w-40 full synthetic for the engine, Motul Gear300 75-90 for the gearbox and Motul GEARBOX 80-90 mineral for the diff. DO NOT use Motul FF-LSD if you have the stock LSD!!!! I know this sounds very strange but the S15 manual says to use NON-LSD oil for the gearbox and diff(which GEAR300 and GEARBOX are NON-LSD). I think FF-LSD is to be used with lockers and mechanical diffs. Bear in mind you could use GEAR300 for the diff also, i opted not to because the manual states the S15 diff needs 80w90, not sure if i could get away with using full synthetic Gear300... would love to try it for the diff sometime.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll reply to this thread after a few hundred kays with the oil change.

Not happy with it.  The cheap s  hit stuff that was in there that was thicker was better.  Or felt better.  Once its warm its ok, but by geebus it takes forever to warm up.

Dave, I had the same problem with the Redline oil, you really had to give the car some stick before the gearbox felt any good or else it was very 'notchy'.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
