What Fluids are you guys using?

[dsmcoder]

I have a 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX Auto and I would like some opinions on some fluids. I need to replace my transfer case fluid and my automatic transmission fluid. What do you guys recommend and I also see temps from -30 to 100 in Montana if that makes a difference.

Where do you get the John Deer at?

So many options, now I'm thinking about running Oem for auto trans and redline for transfer case.

Amsoil is the best on the market my opinion especially being a Royal Purple fan for quite some time. It already comes with most friction modifiers.

Royal Purple vs AMSOIL

They back there oil 100%

Good Luck

Unless someone can tell me why I shouldn't; i'm going to be using Redline C+ in the tranny (auto) Redline HW shock proof in the Tcase and rear diff.

I prefer to use cheaper lubricants and change them more frequently...I recomend mobil and I. Use costal gearlube

Should I use an oem filter for my trans? I can't seem to find one, if anyone knows where I can get one that would be great. My trans is a W4A33

Royal purple is great, the price often sucks, but i use it all throughout my drivedrain, motor, tcase, tranny (5spd), rear diff. I've used Amsoil which is good stuff too and cheaper, but the difference i did notice between the 2 was enough for me to pay the extra for the better wear and protection, and my car runs and drives much smoother.

 

[dsmcoder]

I found a transmission filter for a F4A33, does anyone know if the W4A33 uses the same filter.

 

[97gst_spyder]

Yep, same one.

Does this look a good kit? Beck/Arnley 044-0245 Automatic Transmission Filter Kit | eBay

 

[Spin Daily]

My local autozone stocks the same one or maybe was advance auto... the other stocks duralast.

 

[97gst_spyder]

The proking one is good under $20 from advance.

 

[raiderrodney]

I run Amsoil's Signature Series and their GL-4 gear lube in the transmission in my GST and I would recommend to anyone. If I ever get the motor rebuilt in my GS I'll make the switch in it as well. They really make some outstanding products
