Amsoil guys: pls report (tranny fluid)

axmea? · 06-21-2014, 06:11 PM

Going for a 6mt fluid service. Any feedback on Amsoil's MT 75w 90 gear lube or their new manual transmission syncromesh 5w 30 fluid?

yes works fine

I just re-read this. Do not use GL5 fluid on your 6 spd, it has to be GL-4

WorX Fine. I dumped my stok shi'i+3 @ 500 miles. MT lube 75W90 / GL-4.
Over 4k miles now, still shifts fine!

Not Amsoil but I would highly recommend Redline MT-85. Went from stock lube at 11k to the redline because of the positive feedback. Specifically how it smooths out the trans while shifting. It is not night and day right after you change it but, give it 500 to 1 k miles and it is smooooooth really a huge improvment.
