It is time to change the oil in my tranny and i was wondering if the royal purple syncromax would be a good oil to use. My freind has 3 bottels in his garage that i can have and i was wondering if it would work good in my tranny?? If not what oil should i get?
Thanks alot,
James

Wait until a rebuild for the Royal Purple. Forget Swepco. Use 80W90 or 90W Gear oil from your FLAPS.

If the synchros are starting to go, use 90W140. It will help a little.

I agree. Changed to Dino oil in my transaxle. 90W-140 and it shifts much better although you got to take your time for a few miles till the trans warms up. 70 teener with side shift.

Unfortunate experience with my 928 put some synthetic oil in and it started popping out of gear and not going into others. ended up with a 2500.00 dollar hole in my wallet. Thats for a rebuild I put in my self.
