Transfer Case Oil

[tRUkbOY]

Probably more a question for those running manual Stageas but what sort of oil are people running in their transfer case? I've got some Elf stuff in mine (can't remember grade) but just curious

Castrol

I use Mobil for everything. USE ONLY ATF FOR YOUR TRANSFER CASE. Castrol is a not so good oil. They dont make their own oil. That tells you something..

Thanks for that. I am going to change the fluids next week sometime (haven't done it since I fitted the manual conversion) so was just curious what people were using.

Now can anyone tell me how much I'll need?

[tRUkbOY]

No dramas, 1.8 to 2.0L's apparently

[stasis]

may i suggest while you are at it, add in nulon diff treatment to the transfer case. I added everyting on mine except the engine and power sterring for the diff treatment and its much smoother.

Yeah I would have but its all coming out for an RB26DETT/5 speed from a 260RS now

What's the difference between a manual and automatic transfer case?

Castrol is owned by BP, is that what you mean by "don't make their own oil"?

hey gary they are actually different as i have had both a gtr manual tf case and a stagea auto tf case on the bench disassembled totally side by side. its nuthin to do with its operation, only the auto one is alot less heavy duty in its parts and most noticable is the gtr one has 6 lugs pressing onto the clutch packs and they stagea one only has 4 lugs instead so alot less surface area to press the clutch packs together.

thats my useless 2c worth

Yeh, yeh, we know. But we were talking about transfer case oil. So the question was what is the difference between the oil you use in a automatic transfer case and a manual transfer case.

And the answer is....................

NONE

Castrol was listed on the London Stock Exchange, so it's hardly American

BP announced the take over in March 2000.

I suggest that you had better go back to your previous post and remove the incorrect statements, some people may read them and get the wrong idea.

We have used ONLY Castrol lubricants in the race and road cars for over 20 years and never had one lubricant related problem. No, I don't work for Castrol and never have. No, I don't sell Castrol products and never have, I just use them (with total confidence).
