what is good transmission oil?
I heard our stock transmission oil in 370Z is a junk.
Since i drive automatic 370Z, i think i must change transmission oil... Can anyone recommend the best transmission oil? I won't give a damn to price, and i just want the best performance. Please? |

Transmission oil just slows down the cogs. Try just draining all the oil out for the least amount of resistance. IF you absolutely must put something back in I heard distilled water is the best.

Wait. You have an auto. Scratch my Redline 75W90 recommendation.

NOS makes a great transmission oil for automatics. It's in a blue bottle. (*I'm kidding*)

AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid
Exceptional Hot- and Cold- Temperature Performance Thermal Stability – Hot temperatures are no excuse for poor reliability. Naturally heat resistant and heavily fortified with anti-oxidants, AMSOIL ATF exceeds the most demanding oxidation requirements. AMSOIL ATF delivers outstanding protection against sludge and varnish deposits that clog narrow oil passages and contribute to clutch glazing. Transmissions can operate hotter and longer with AMSOIL ATF than with conventional fluids. Cold-Temperature Fluidity – Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces energy efficiency (fuel economy). AMSOIL Synthetic ATF is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow properties (< -60°F pour point). Shifting is more responsive, energy efficiency is improved and warm-up times are reduced. OUTSTANDING WEAR PROTECTION Varying speeds and loads causes torque multiplication and extreme stress on gears and bearings. To prevent wear damage consistent with low-quality fluid and ruptured fluid film, AMSOIL formulated Synthetic Universal ATF with high film strength (shear stability) and premium anti-wear/extreme-pressure additives (boundary film barrier). AMSOIL Synthetic ATF protects transmissions during severe-duty service. FRICTION DURABILITY Today’s transmissions are smaller and must withstand higher horsepower and torque while delivering smoother shifts, all with longer fluid life recommendations. AMSOIL Synthetic ATF is formulated with friction modifier additives that deliver outstanding clutch-holding capacity (static friction), torque-transfer ability (dynamic friction) and anti-shudder properties (slipping torqueconverter clutches). EXTENDS FLUID SERVICE LIFE Most drivers are unaware that transmissions commonly operate under severe service and require shorter fluid drain intervals. AMSOIL Synthetic Universal ATF is a long-life fluid capable of extended service intervals. It provides an extra margin of protection, especially when fluid change intervals are missed or during heavy use; even during abuse. Drivers can count on AMSOIL Synthetic Universal ATF to provide protection beyond conventional fluids. APPLICATIONS AMSOIL AMSOIL Synthetic Universal ATF is recommended for transmissions, hydraulics, power steering and other applications requiring any of the following specifications: • GM DEXRON® III-H • Ford MERCON® & MERCON V • Chrysler ATF+4® • Toyota Type T-III and T-IV • Honda Z-1 (Not CVT) • Diamond SP II & III (Mitsubishi/Hyundai/Kia) • Mazda ATF-III, ATF-MV • Subaru ATF • Nissan Matic D, J & K • Idemitsu K-17 • BMW LA2634 • LT 71141 • Audi G-052-025-A2 & G-052-162-A1 • Volvo 97340 • MB 236.1, 236.2, 236.5, 236.6, 236.7, 236.9 & 236.10 • JWS 3309 • NAG 1 • ETL-7045E, ETL-8072B & N402 • Voith 55.6335.XX (G607, G1363) • ZF TE-ML 03D, 04D, 09, 14A, 14B, 14C, 16L, 17C • Allison C-4, TES 389 *Not for use with CVT or Ford Type F applications. SERVICE LIFE Recommended for 50,000 miles in severe service* and 100,000 miles in normal service;* or per vehicle manufacturer-recommended intervals, whichever is longer. |
