Castrol Super Clean "SUCKS". I bought it because a few of you "raved" about it. Worthless. Back to brake cleaner for me. I use the Castrol to clean the floors now.
Seriously. I would rather waste 4 cans of brake cleaner in 5 minutes than deal with the Castrol over a 30 minute period. The brake cleaner is pressurized and therefore "blows" the crap off without even touching the tranny. I use Simple Green also.. it does the same thing that Castrol does... except the Castrol eats into the mag cases and leaves a haze on everything. I wouldnt suggest Castrol on the tranny... it seriously ate into the first box I tried it on. I thought something was wrong with the box... then I tried it on a spare 901 end cover and it did something to the Magnesium. B |
