OIL - Where to find?
Hey folks,
So, what are you putting in your cars for
1. Motor
2. Trans
3. Diff
I'm thinking of replacing MT and Diff oil, I have seen threads recommending Redline and LE products, but can I get this stuff anywhere around Houston?
Thanks,
k

This is my current set-up.
1. Redline 10w30
2. Redline MT-90
3 LE 607
For the tranny I suggest trying out different fluids and seeing which one you and your tranny likes. I strongly suggest GM Syncromesh Friction Modified. That is going to be my next tranny fluid. I really like MT-90 but sometimes it's really notchy. Other then that it's awesome when it warms up and I don't grind anymore. You can buy redline fluids at the s2ki marketplace and the LE diff fluid and syncromesh at www.hardtopguy.com. I have found that hardtopguy.com has better prices for the tranny fluid and LE oil than s2ki marketplace. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your responses. Maybe if we go to the same dealership for the GMSFM they'll eventually catch on and know what we are asking for. I read the thread on the trouble that people have had in getting the right bottle.
Johnny: The S&H kind of killed the marketplace idea, i'll check into hardtopguy.com. Did you need a pump for the LE-607?
To Ulrich: Does Castrol make gear and diff lube too?
Those of you that said Castrol for your engine, are you using GTX or Syntec?
The floor jack came in yesterday so I might try something Sunday.

As for your question about the LE-607, nah I don't use a pump, but what I do is I leave the LE607 in a bowl of hot hot water prior to the fill. Then you use some fuel/coolant/oil hoses and stick it on the spout. I just squeeze the fluid into the tranny/diff. Just remember DO NOT use the same hose for the tranny/diff. The diff fluids usually contain chemicals which corrode our brass syncros, so keep that in mind and use seperate hoses. Hope that helps.
