so im going to do a tranny fluid change and i dont know which to use. either Motul or Royal purple,what u guys recomend? at first i was thinking on taking it to the dealer and have them use the stock fluid but i just dont have the time so i rather doit myself. any suggestions?

 

neither... I like Valvoline 75W90 (same as OEM) in the tranny. I do run Royal Purple in the rear end tho.

 

i use motul. it's good but a little pricey.

 

None of the above! Go to Mastro say you want the GREY bottle transmission fluid. The smoothest shifting possible on the 5spd.

 

i tried royal purple for my motor oil choice once....and i mean once at that. I went to mastro and had them put in some of their RP. The next day, they drained it out and i got it replaced with normal synthetic. Also, i got my money back. it made the car feel like crap. the car felt like it had something wrong with it.

Sure, i know this is motor oil, but who knows what it will do for the rest of the parts of the car.

I only use Motul in the engine. For being such a good product, i will most likely use Motul products for tranny fluid and stuff.

 

PM Mike Ranlet (Mranlet) and ask him about Uncle Scotty's Cocktail and he'll tell you whats in it. Mine shifts awesome since they did mine.

 

1qt redline lightwieght shockproof
1qt gm synchromesh
rest castrol hypoy c

it's not magic but it does help the older trannys. i really couldn't tell a difference between it and the motul. hell even picking up the stock fluid is probably just as good.

 

yeah i noticed the motul and royal are a lil price, plus i only got less than 40k in the tranny.

 

I use the Motul, I have used the redline shockproof stuff as well and RP is in my brothers car. I like them all but they are like 12.90 per quart... and I noticed no difference between any of them.

 

Subaru has realeased a new fluid only available in huge containers right now but it is awesome and i would recomend it for any subaru manual transmission.Just waiting for them to release it in smaller containers.
