    dsy 6speed box,oil suggestions?

    I'm going to put new oil in my gearbox,do you have any suggestions about a very good oil to this gearbox? The gearbox will have an oil/water cooler and the car is +550 hp

    Also,any suggestion for my V8 rear torsen diff that is without cooler?

    Thanks guys

    none knows anything about a good transmission oil for hi-spec cars?



    btw, my current gearbox oil is BLUE and looks very nice quality, i have never saw any like this before. i dont know from what is it because it was already inside when i bough the race engine + transmission

          Hi I've just put Shell helix racing 75w/90 into my gearbox. Seems great! Fully synthetic GL5 75w/90 in rear torsen diff.

              Blue oil sounds like Red Line Shockproof oil, thats blue and cost à fortune... On my old 200sx I used Redline MT-90 but changed to Quattrolube Quakerstate 20w50 mineral, best oil Evert used , planning to put it my Urs6

                That's the stuff oilman recommended. I'm using the semi-synth version in mine which is ok when warm, but when cold its very notchy and the 1st/2nd gear synros dont like to be rushed.

                  And what do you think about.the redline? Does it worth if you ignore the price?

                    Never was impressed by it, and it was Super Quadrolube 75W mineral that i used on my nissan not 20w50, and talked about to a friend of mine that has had four C4 Audis and he has always used 75W Mineral from Quakerstate and his gearbox on hes latest UrS6 is like new, as long as the classes matches up I would go with Quakerstate. Going to change to that in my own UrS6 as im not happy with the winterfeel on my Castrol oil that I use today....

                        ok,thanks guys¡

                        we will see what i will do,but to be honest the blue gearbox oil looks very very good

                        the thing is that i will need to put more oil in the gearbox system because i am installing a gearbox oil/water cooler...
