Red Line Synthetic ShockProof™ Gear Oil FTW!

I got mine through a groupbuy on here some time ago, from Unique Autosports, but i doubt it's still going.

Its quite expensive, but well worth the $$$.

Good Luck

..and then again, if you talk to people who know about oils, they will tell you to stay away from lightweight shockproof in the long run.

I changed my gearbox oil to castrol vmx80 with nulon g70 additive. Had bad 4th gear syrncho issues before, now it is gone.. has taken a couple of tanks of fuel but its a lot nicer now.

personal opinion.

Hey, I'm not trying to be a smart-arse, but I'm just curious as to who said it and why?

I've used Red Line shockproof for 20,000km and haven't had a problem...come to think of it it's time for another oil change...

I sort of gathered that you weren't trying to be.. and neither was I.

From links like here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...ight+shockproof

and from redline's own web site http://www.redlineoil.com/products_gearlub...mp;categoryID=6

from trying to find a close supplier locally and basically being told by a few people that it isn't the best for my box, main reason given was it is a GL5 oil, which is known to be bad for the brass component of synchro assemblies,

and other forums browsing.. filtering I guess you would call it. I understand that it works well, but if even the manufacturer says not to use it, then I began looking for alternatives and that is what I found.

Search around for GL5 and synchro. Make up your own mind. MTX is a lot cheaper though..
