i am going det, and i need to know if i should use synthetic(sp) in the motor, and what should i put in the 5 speed tranny? any suggestions are greatly appreicated. Brian

use redline synthetic in the tranny its pretty good stuff!!

I'm currently running Redline MTL and it's very nice. I'm swapping in a DET in 2 weeks so then I will run Motul 75/90 to try something different. I was told it's better than redline. At $20/litre it better be!:D

I've had VERY good luck with royal purple synthetic in the tranny, its thick and seems to absorb shock very well. OF couse, only time will tell how good it really is.

In the motor, I use Mobil one synthetic, or royal purple synthetic. For a turbo car you should run at least 10w-30, I run 15w-50 in mine.

thanks, Mobil 1 it is, that will be what i use. Brian

or the Redline Heavy Duty Shockproof

both of these shockproof oils should help prolong tranny life.

Do not use Mobil 1 tranny oil though, not good stuff for our trannies.

I run Redline Shockproof Lightweight (it's a cool electric blue color too!) in the tranny. There is also the Heavy which almost looks like one of Jamba Juice's smoothies.

For the DET, I run Mobil1 15W-50. I have also run Castrol Syntec too, and I have heard nothing but good things about Royal Purple.
