The Best Gearbox Oil Thread

[tinkerbell]

just for example - i just bought 20 quarts of Redline 10W-40 engine oil for 8usd each + 95usd shipping...

so $255/0.92 = $277aud = $13aud per quart (947ml or something)

MTL is very close in price to the 10W-40 (as are the Redline Shockproof range)

your owners manual will tell you how many qts you need for a change, although I believe someone here posted 1.9L/2 qts for the dc5r.

if your looking for MTL you might want to check with a shop in american it's called Alamo Motorsports Located in Arlington Texas the owner of the shop is named bryce he might can cut you guys a good deal if your planning to do a group buy.

Us Melbournites get our Red Line from Harold at PerformanceLub.com LINK. His prices have gone up recently but he is still reasonably cheap and he generally has stock.
