Seems it has a lot to do with the additive package. More info from Bobstheoilguy:

Yeah I saw the sulfur-phosphorous mentioned on the description page so that is what had me concerned as it is pretty common place in GL-5 oils. I guess you'll find out if the inhibitors due their job :)

Nippon Oil Co. is the largest in Japan. I'm assuming they wouldn't formulate and market this as a transmission lubricant if they hadn't covered their bases. Sure shifts nice!

Steve,

Glad to hear you like the Eneos gear oil. It certainly made my 350Z shift better. I guess I'm going to have to wait until I break my 370Z in to switch. :tup:

I just changed my tranny oil for the second time. Both times with Redline MT90. For some reason the first time did not feel so smooth, it felt kinda notchy. I just redid about an hour ago with the same stuff, now it feels like butter. :driving:

Modshack definately respect your research and info but I'm still leary about using GL-5 in any copper based metals transmissions. Guys on the HybridZ forum have had issue running thier Redline GL-5 stuff in their Nissan transmissions. Know the Redline MT90 is great and it sounds like the second round is even better - most likely because the old fluid is more completly flushed out....

Ok .. so how much would 6 Quarts of 5w30, 3 quarts of MTL90, and 2 quarts of 75w90 come to? If that doesn't go over the $100 mark let me know, and I can just double up on the 5w30.

Anyone else in on the group buy?

did you fill to the same level both times? if so, I bet its just that there is some old fluid mixed in the first time and the combination is not as good.

I guess no group buy is going to happen then huh ...

Group buy is NO LONGER valid since Z1 performance is no longer a supporting vendor. I have been buying from this guy on ebay and been VERY happy.

eBay Seller: morethantires: Parts Accessories items on eBay Motors

He seems like a Redline dealer. I'll ask him to become to sponsor here.

Hey AK...I've too have bought Redline from that guy (morethantires) on several times. See if you can get him on board for a GB.

I sent him an email. Lets see what I get in reply.

just buy it off amazon and save yourselves the hassle of dealing with unknown sellers/vendors. it's only like $9.99 there with free shipping. mine showed up in 2 days.

Z1Performance 12-20-2009 06:04 PM

Sorry guys, good luck

Gear Oil and Transmission Lube

$8.85 flat rate shipping

$9.49 or $9.95/qt depending on the oil

same place where Mod got his oil cooler parts (and where I'm about to order mine). spoken with a couple people on the phone to answer some questions and they've been easy to get a hold of and very helpful.
