what is good transmission oil?
 

I heard our stock transmission oil in 370Z is a junk.
Since i drive automatic 370Z, i think i must change transmission oil...
Can anyone recommend the best transmission oil?
I won't give a damn to price, and i just want the best performance.
Please?:icon17:

Transmission oil just slows down the cogs. Try just draining all the oil out for the least amount of resistance. IF you absolutely must put something back in I heard distilled water is the best.

Redline 75W90

Where are you getting all this mis-information? This is not the first time you've been out in left field...

:tup:

Wait. You have an auto. Scratch my Redline 75W90 recommendation.

just leave it alone

NOS makes a great transmission oil for automatics. It's in a blue bottle. (*I'm kidding*)

it has no fat but is sugary...... on the road for another failed thread

Where did you come up with this garbage????? :shakes head:

AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid

Exceptional Hot- and Cold- Temperature Performance
Thermal Stability – Hot temperatures are no excuse for poor reliability. Naturally heat resistant and heavily fortified with anti-oxidants, AMSOIL ATF exceeds the most demanding oxidation requirements. AMSOIL ATF delivers outstanding protection against sludge and varnish deposits that clog narrow oil passages and contribute to clutch glazing. Transmissions can operate hotter and longer with AMSOIL ATF than with conventional fluids.

Cold-Temperature Fluidity – Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces energy efficiency (fuel economy). AMSOIL Synthetic ATF is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow properties (< -60°F pour point). Shifting is more responsive, energy efficiency is improved and warm-up times are reduced.

OUTSTANDING WEAR PROTECTION
Varying speeds and loads causes torque multiplication and extreme stress on gears and bearings. To prevent wear damage consistent with low-quality fluid and ruptured fluid film, AMSOIL formulated Synthetic Universal ATF with high film strength (shear stability) and premium anti-wear/extreme-pressure additives (boundary film barrier). AMSOIL Synthetic ATF protects transmissions during severe-duty service.

FRICTION DURABILITY
Today’s transmissions are smaller and must withstand higher horsepower and torque while delivering smoother shifts, all with longer fluid life recommendations. AMSOIL Synthetic ATF is formulated with friction modifier additives that deliver outstanding clutch-holding capacity (static friction), torque-transfer ability (dynamic friction) and anti-shudder properties (slipping torqueconverter clutches).

EXTENDS FLUID SERVICE LIFE
Most drivers are unaware that transmissions commonly operate under severe service and require shorter fluid drain intervals. AMSOIL Synthetic Universal ATF is a long-life fluid capable of extended service intervals. It provides an extra margin of protection, especially when fluid change intervals are missed or during heavy use; even during abuse. Drivers can count on AMSOIL Synthetic Universal ATF to provide protection beyond conventional fluids.

*Not for use with CVT or Ford Type F applications.

SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for 50,000 miles in severe service* and 100,000 miles in normal service;* or per vehicle manufacturer-recommended intervals, whichever is longer.:rock:

Where do these rumors come from? Is there a forum that I don't have access to?

U seem so easy to manipulate for marketers. Transmission oil this early? unless you drive 200 miles a day or something.

Even if you are driving 200 miles a day. If you want to change the oil wait till you need to change it then put in the UberGoldSchlagenTurBorino Quantum Tranny Lover Oil. Waste of money to change it now.

change the brake fluid also....lol

or leave it alone like the rest of us

If you're looking for some transmission oil, I've got a whole case of transmission oil I can sell you. And to make the deal sweeter, I'll even throw in some free Arizona beach-front property.

Are you sure? Thats motor oil.

He was kidding.

From the 370Z's Owners Manual:

We know this is a conspiracy to sell Nissan Branded stuff...Friends who think they know WAY more than they really do and Internet rumors are always correct. Just iginore that manual!....:rofl2:

I like ams oil or mobile 1 they have a trans oil either one are great.

If you enjoy having a valid warranty on your 7AT, you'll leave the stock Matic S fluid alone.

:ugh2:

If you're talking about the manual transmission, I've used Prodrive transmission oil on my Mini Cooper S and loved it. However, it was quite costly so I switched to other brands like Torco and Liquid Moly just to try (cause if you don't try, you'd never know for yourself), but I still prefer Prodrive.

I'm not going to tell you how buttery smooth it was or yaddah yaddah. You'd just have to try it, to believe it! =)

Your mileage may vary.

He has the 7AT.

Ooooooh well... Useless information for the 7AT, but useful for the 6MTers out there then! =)
