Its not the sythetic oil ,its the type of oil used. Fully synthetic oil is the obvious choice given its increased resistance to shear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the best oil for as fast as possible up shifts. Not worried about roll over as it's already bad but manageable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phat_stak_tipa Member 51 Member For: 19y 1m 2d Posted 24/07/14 10:51 AM Share Posted 24/07/14 10:51 AM (edited) Currently have PENRITE PRO GEAR 70w-75 in the box....shifts are smooth and fast, have had the car at WSID each time I have had different fluids in it, never missed a shift.....Mal wood seems to change his mind ALOT, I originally put transmax z in about 2 years ago on his advice, then a ford forum member with an FG manual got told to not use it, I rang mal wood to clarify and they said they had seen some issues with a box that used it and no longer recommend it.......I asked about the formula changing and they suspected it had.....Truth is my box copped the hardest time with transmax z including 3 trips to WSID and never had any issue, I only changed to penrite as the rollover noise was sh*thouse......

Saw some of the quotes, think they topped $400 including freight?!?!?!transmax is going in tomorrow when I do my shifter swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
