Best Oil vs Price $$

Recommended Posts

I've been looking into gearbox and diff oils. I'm trying to work out what the best oil vs price is.

Gearbox 4.3l

Diff 1l

Most recommended seems to be (Prices approx):

GEARBOX

Redline 75W90NS GL-5 - $180 (4.7l)

Motul Gear300 - $240 (5l)

Castrol Syntrax - $150 (5l)

DIFF

Redline 75W90 GL-5 - $39 (946ml could be a touch short)

Motul 90PA - $48 (2l, Twice as much as needed for this price)

At the moment it looks like a Castrol and Motul mix.

Anyone else got a recommendation or a source of good cheap oil?

Is the dccd or front mechanical. I have nfi how dccd works. Viscous diffs are sealed so no lsd requirement just need a gl5. You are getting ripped on gear oil. I can sell you a semi synthetic 85w90 gl5 lsd for 50ish. Perfectly fine for any lsd box/diff.

I'm not sure, its my understanding the Gearbox needs a oil without a friction multiplier, yet the rear diff needs the friction multiplier.

I've looked it up and all in know is the rear has a Torsen LSD. Can't find out what the front one combined with the gearbox is.

What oil can you supply?

Dont use oil with friction modifier in your gearbox, it destroys synchros.

DCCD stuff is designed to work with normal gear oil and without FM

Plated rear lsds need FM. Torsen doesnt

I like motul in my rear diff, redline in my gearbox and elf in my engine lol

Matt when you say fm do you mean on top if running an lsd oil or just running an lsd oil? So dccd does not require an lsd oil like a mech diff?

I buy the motul PA90 oil for the rear diff that has the FM in it already

Correct dont use FM with DCCD, well you can but it doesnt need it and your synchos will wear very quickly

But if you have a mech front lsd you will need to and suck it up.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
