Been told their not cheap, just trying to work sh*t out my phoons due for a auto service and want to do it right the first time.also im a big fan of Nulon products, but after reading their site it says the 100% synthetic atf IS NOT suitable for the ZF 6 spds.. what about castrol transmax Z??I dont mind trying the Penrite SYN-ATF, but ive never been a big fan of penrite products... their results dont give me a flutter in the pants region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember which brand he suggested. He Said, the tranzmax z was more for the 4 speed. But I'm guessing you probably have a better Idea than my local. So you think the tranzmax Z is the way to go? I don't really care how much the oil cost or what brand it is as long as it will be the best for the box.

I think that's pretty good value what do people think? any SA folk been too or heard of MV's?the guy there quoted me 700 for genuine ford stuff, and said since I was running bigger power he would recommend the cheaper penrite jobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I know now uses Castrol TransmaxZ and swear by it. Use whatever you feel comfortable with as everyone has their own Ideas just like I have mine. Ive seen probably more than 50 ~75 of these box's stripped now and you can pick which oil was used in them just by looking at the wear!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
