how much and what type of redline tranny fluid

[BLUE89TURBO]

Hey Guys,

I went to the FAQ but with the dial up connection at home i dont have all night to find out what the best fluid is....

Quickly, for The "Toronto Ontario climate" what type of Redline fluid would you guys suggest?

Also how much will i need?

Thanks for the help...

Since you are in canada I would get the bottom oil in the list http://redlineoil.com/products_gearlubricants.asp?pvID=111&prodID=57&subcatID=18

It says it is improved shifting in colder climates.

P.S. this is for manual tranny's if you have auto track back in the website and find those fluids, and for the amount it will be in your owners manual.

MT90 ought to suit your needs well enough.

Redline MT-90 works well and you can find information on capacity and such here:

Blue: Have you tried BG Synchroshift?

IMO BG synchroshift is the best fluid for the DSM transmissions.

Many of my customers run TRE trannys and they all run the Redline MT90. Some mix a quart of the shockproof gear oil with the MT90. That seems to be a pretty good combo.

I've personally used nothing but BG Synchroshift though.

Give BE Syncroshift a try. Good stuff.

If you are interested in an alternative to Red Line, I was introduced to the product Royal Purple Synchromax by one of the other members (who uses it on his manual) and it has worked great for my automatic.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the help.

I may give the BG Syncroshift a try. If i can find it.

Does anyone know where to find the stuff in the T.O. area?

In my yahoo search i saw - maybe a GM dealer??

Thanks again

Does using a bit of shockproof hurt shift quality any? I tried it alone (big mistake I know now) & Now I run BG. I will be changing again in spring & may want to try the mix.

i personally run 2qts of the pennzoil synchroshift and .5qt of redline lightweight shock proof. i have had no issues with shifting whatsoever. the synchroshift is pretty thin and the shock proof clings to the gears for the 7k shifts.

Thanks, I was also considering syncroshift (to save cash) although, I should not change more than 1 variable at a time I s'pose.

Here's where I got all my Syncroshift from.

Hey guys,

I called my local GM dealership - they have never heard of BG syncroshift...

Does anyone in Ontario know where to purchase.

I would like to purchase locally if possible.

Thanks again
