If you want to know how the oil is doing "now" do a UOA!

Here's a thread on LE oils.

I'm not quite sure if the LE thread was positive or negative.

For people that have done oil testing before, do you choose just the standard oil test,
or some of the other options in addition?

 

I just do standard...you can also pay a little more and do a "dyson analysis" kit, which has terry dyson look at your UOA personally (tribologist) and give you recommendations as to intervals and oil additives/types.

One G35 owner cut his wear metals in half after doing a dyson kit based on terry's recommendations.

 

how much is one of those analysises?

 

Does pep boys or anything like that have royal purple?

 

I get it at O'Reilly

 

NAPA sells it.

 

I recently switched to Redline for my Manual Transmission even after my Uncle had recomended Amsoil.

Two weeks and I wasn't satisfied so I switched to the Amsoil 2000 series 75W90 which I already had for the rear diff. Huge difference Amsoil is great.

I also switched over to Amsoil 2000 series 5W30 for the engine.

Happy so far.

What are the differences between the MT-90 and the 75W90?
Is it just the limited slip additive?
What does it do?

 

can u tell me what you felt when you switched to amsoil from redline? everyone here seems to be happy w/ redline in the tranny & diff... i just received my redline oil & was getting ready to put them in...

 

I haven't found it in the Chicago land area in 5w20 but have found it on ebay.

 

I should have reposted the reason I had trouble is I had replaced the the clutch line... didn't bleed it properly but I could after I installed the speedbleeders... everything was great. Should be just fine with the Redline.

Sorry about that.
