Yeah I saw the sulfur-phosphorous mentioned on the description page so that is what had me concerned as it is pretty common place in GL-5 oils. I guess you'll find out if the inhibitors due their job

Nippon Oil Co. is the largest in Japan. I'm assuming they wouldn't formulate and market this as a transmission lubricant if they hadn't covered their bases. Sure shifts nice!

Steve,

Glad to hear you like the Eneos gear oil. It certainly made my 350Z shift better. I guess I'm going to have to wait until I break my 370Z in to switch.

I just changed my tranny oil for the second time. Both times with Redline MT90. For some reason the first time did not feel so smooth, it felt kinda notchy. I just redid about an hour ago with the same stuff, now it feels like butter.

Modshack definately respect your research and info but I'm still leary about using GL-5 in any copper based metals transmissions. Guys on the HybridZ forum have had issue running thier Redline GL-5 stuff in their Nissan transmissions. Know the Redline MT90 is great and it sounds like the second round is even better - most likely because the old fluid is more completly flushed out....

TipsZ · 12-15-2009, 04:04 PM

Ok .. so how much would 6 Quarts of 5w30, 3 quarts of MTL90, and 2 quarts of 75w90 come to? If that doesn't go over the $100 mark let me know, and I can just double up on the 5w30.

Anyone else in on the group buy?

did you fill to the same level both times? if so, I bet its just that there is some old fluid mixed in the first time and the combination is not as good.

I guess no group buy is going to happen then huh ...

Group buy is NO LONGER valid since Z1 performance is no longer a supporting vendor. I have been buying from this guy on ebay and been VERY happy.

eBay Seller: morethantires: Parts Accessories items on eBay Motors

He seems like a Redline dealer. I'll ask him to become to sponsor here.

phantom21 · 12-19-2009, 07:03 PM

Hey AK...I've too have bought Redline from that guy (morethantires) on several times. See if you can get him on board for a GB.

I sent him an email. Lets see what I get in reply.
