Jay Leno, world renown car guy and collector talk about his using top quality Redline gear oil for his car and bike collection. Very interesting video. Jay Leno and Redline http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/...30bb16b6bac5eed

Contrary to popular belief, multi-ground does not mean multi-spark. The spark will only jump once at a time to the lowest resistance ground. Multi-Ground

The number of ground electrode doesn't improve the intensity of the spark, it only serve to prolong plug life by distributing the spark erosion among the 2 electrode. The key to stronger spark are smaller centre electrode provided by iridium or platinum, the smaller the centre electrode the better. Ignition sequence

Depends on how cold it gets, it's not too thick really as 10w is spec (ASTM D-5293) to flow at -25'c. A good Synthetic will have a lower cP then a mineral though.

Yes, Harold is right. Power steering fluid are in fact hydraulic fluid like ATF, so any Dexron III ATF will worked as power steering fluid.

Chuckie, from your UOA. Pb (bearings) look abit on the high side, you should ask your lab test the Vis@100'c next time, that will tell you how much shearing or thickening over your 20k oci (oil change interval). Low Si (air filtration) is good though. A TBN (total base number) or TAN (total acid number) test will also tell you how acidic your oil is. I would suggest you sample your oil at around 6-8k interval, if PB is much lower then it could be corrosive wear (from the high TAN in your oil) instead of normal abrasive wear. fyi, high TAN are usually cause by depleted TBN due to long oci. Your UOA looks ok but could be better with lower oci but one thing for sure, 5w40 viscosity is perfect for your type of driving and usage. Oh, it would be easier to read what you are trying to say by paragraphing your messages. "CAPITAL wording" online is aka to shouting, pls don't do that.

It's too thick, buy another bottle of Penrite 5w30 and mix 60/40 to thin it down.

Depend on how's your shifting now, if it feel notchy and difficult in engaging, then the MTL(70w80) would work better then thicker 75w90 oil as the thinner oil will squeeze out faster from the syncro thus promoting quick positive shift. RL lightweight shockproof & 75w90 gear oil do already contain LSD additives, the amount of additional LSD additives to add will depends on the level of LSD noise(how tight or losses is the LSD). There's no real answer to your question, it's more of an educated guess with trial and error thing. I would suggest you add a quart of 75w90 to your front with remaining MTL and see what happens.

IMO RL 75w90 would do just nice for your rear. The cluck from the front can either be due to mechanical problem or lack of correct friction modifier from the fluid. A good LSD load fluid like light weight shock proof would normally do the trick(can use RL LSD Fluid), MTL (70w80) would give very good shift & protection for syncro but would not cure your "cluck" noise which i suspect it's from the after market LSD. It's really difficult to advice you which fluid will work or not as we don't even know what type of after market LSD is in there. I would advice you to try the likeliest solution first, try and error.

It got nothing to do with engine oil brand, 0 pressure can only mean mechanical fault, probably loses sensor cable or connector. For a oil to reach 0 pressure, it had to sheared below 10wt or less, not likely for a synthetic oil.

Sorry, OT on this question. Anyone knows where to get cheap car rental in Melbourne? I'll be coming over this Nov to visit my family and friends. A million thanks in advance

Diff - Motul Gear300 75w-90w Gearbox - Motul Gear300 75w-90w (Redline lightweight shockproof) Engine - Motul Xcess8100 5w-40w Coolant - Castrol Anti Freeze Brake Fluid - Any Dot 4 or Dot 5.1 brake fluid Power Steering - Any Dexron III spec ATF fluid will do

Why don't you just ask Harold from performancelub.com about the shipping charge?

I did a scan with my anti-virus and come up with nothing, it's safe going into this site. no problem. oh, you could email Harold at [email protected] if you have any enquiry, he quite a helpful chap who will try to answer your questions.

100% mean sh#t nowadays. It can be anything from 100% group III to V, so go figure.
