Roil Results

[riggaP]

That would be a very low speed for such a high gear, in my Corona I only have to change into 4th around 60klms,  can do up to 80klms in 3rd then switch up to 4th.

The more I read this post, the more it makes no sense.

If I wanted, I can do up to 155km/h in 3rd then switch up to 4th. This doesnt mean I cant use 3rd at 30km/h!

Does the Corona have a 5th? From what you've said I doubt even 3rd gear is necessary on that car!

Pretty funny... and ppl said i didn't know wot i was on about...

[SS8_Gohan]

My Pulsar NEEDS 5th from a little under 60km/h onwards, she seems to struggle too hard otherwise poor girl.

I thought having lower revs is better for fuel consumption. I noticed on my dad's 530i, on the dash, even at 60 it will shift to the highest gear (M5), lower revs, better fuel consumption?

[gslrallysport]

Tru to some degree, although fuel savings with Roil come more from using less throttle, and not so much being able to grab higher gears...

RiggaP, i've said WTF??? alot since discovering Roil too... Some things i still find hard to believe...

OK, Time to post my results...

I added roil to both engine and gearbox.

Engine:

- after 100 - 200 km, I noticed it was actually harder to start the car...

- after 400km, it went back to how it was.... weird

- after 500km, I noticed the engine felt a lot smoother at low-mid revs

- after 700km, even better. Also noticed there is a lil more power / torque at lower revs, just enough to actually feel the difference.

- Oil pressure now is much more stable, and the car feels almost like new... hmmm

Gearbox: I've done about 300-400km with the stuff in

I have a notchy 2nd gear, and developed a crunchy 4th gear. I can avoid these however by leaving the gear selector in neutral for 0.5 sec before selecting those gears. With roil it is much less likely to happen... infact, when I think about it, I cant remember my 4th gear crunching lately, and I have been putting it straight in! 2nd is still notchy though...

This is what I expected of the product at best when I bought it, and it is what I got... so no complaints here. The most impressive thing to me, is the fact that my engine feels very smooth now.

What gearbox oil do you actually use?

[gslrallysport]

Zahos... excellent, thanks budy...

Good to see someone's who's tried in their gearbox and had sucess... I don't think too many other tried it there, so its good to see... thanks...

[gslrallysport]

The most impressive thing to me, is the fact that my engine feels very smooth now.

Very smooth engine... less friction, less wear and thus less petrol... which is what its all about... more so then any outright performance gains... they're just a bonus

[Zahos]

What gearbox oil do you actually use?

Castrol VMX-80

Cant justify spening $100 on Redline stuff for a daily driver...

[gslrallysport]

Why would ya when Roil costs $50.... lol

Just kiddin'... i know how good redline is... for the moment i'm happy sticking with Motul... but when i get some cash redline is definately on the horizon...

Can't justify spending $100 protecting your $20-30-40k piece of machinery? Why not?

[Jimbo2000]

are we talking about adding roil to redline here?

[ferni]

abobob: how is a Gearbox worth 20-30-40k?

[Zahos]

Can't justify spending $100 protecting your $20-30-40k piece of machinery?  Why not?

I think he means the entire car ferni (correct me if I'm wrong)

B/c there is not as much friction in a gearbox, as there is say in a combustion engine, and if the manufacturer has specified that Castrol VMX-80 is suitable for my car at $35, then I choose to use that oil in my gearbox for my daily driven street car.

So how can I justify spending about 3 times as much when the product I use does it's job just fine.

I dont understand why people are so dead set on Redline for their daily drivers gearbox's and diffs..... You're just blowing your money away... but hey, to you thats just my opinion... If it were a track car, or something that were exposed to much punishment, then I would definately be looking at alternative oils more suited for that application.

In a combustion engine (where friction levels get much higher), I can see why people opt to go for oils that dont degrade as easily with heat and preassure.... and thats why I choose to add roil to my engine.... (based on claims that I now believe to be true) But IMHO, standard gearboxes, in a daily driven skyline, will be just fine with VMX-80.

Thats why not.
