a2z Member 58 Member For: 15y 10m 26d Gender: Male Location: 2750 Posted 18/05/13 11:59 AM Share Posted 18/05/13 11:59 AM Thought I would try and get a list of different oils/fluids and capacities for the various gear box's out there.I have drained mine to do a oil change while changing the clutch.I have a fg manual t6060. Whats the concensus on which oil/fluid is best for the t6060 and how much does it take.It may be a good idea to note all the box's in this thread.Is transmax z suitable for the fg tr6060?

TITO Member 42 Member For: 16y 8m 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 20/05/13 10:03 AM Share Posted 20/05/13 10:03 AM Transmax z was the ideal fluid to use in the fg manual until the formula was changed last year. Mainlube, Penrite & Dextron seems the way to go.

matsfgxr6turbo Member 388 Member For: 15y 2m 18d Posted 20/05/13 01:00 PM Share Posted 20/05/13 01:00 PM yeah the new formula is no good and the wrong colour lol. 3.85 is the factory amount in the manual kroozin nice spelling by the way do you know something ford doesn't?I've tried both amounts 3.85 is heaps better shift than 4.85 trust me.
