which one did you get, most off the shelf gear oil are GL-5 for differentials which is too "slippery" for proper syncro engagement in transmissions.

use royal purple

randomxzero · 02-01-2009, 03:13 AM

haha thought about it...
but i went redline MT 90

I heard about that but haven't really seen like an advertisement about it. I saw Royal Purple on speed channel one time and how they explained in details about it and how its made so I thought that was the oil to use. Hella expensive tho...

randomxzero · 02-01-2009, 03:27 AM

14.99 for a quart..
redline was 11.99 a quart..

masagsxr · 02-01-2009, 05:31 AM

yup.. that price is about right... I have not tried redline yet tho.

MT90 is good stuff, I think royal purple have gl-4 also, both should be great. I wish they still stock regular gl-4 gearoil on shelf instead of these expanisve synthetic gear lube, I like to change my lube regularly.

Advertisements are about the last thing you should consider when buying any product. Marketing can make any product look excellent...

Royal Purple is great, as is MT-90. With MT-90, you pay for the oil, not the advertising.

haha ya i spent about an hour just researching what kind and how much does an aw11 take.. until i found it on the New Zealand mr2 forums i was afraid they might of not had redline in the states but i heard it works really good with any car..
