I've just finished surveying for gear oil for my gearbox swapping project. I'll be swapping on an evo 3 full-lock LSD box to my 4g93t GSR. The brands dat i looked up was:
- Torco SGO SAE 75w-90/ (synthetic) rm 105/Lit
- Torco RGO SAE 80W-90/80w-140 (synthetic) rm 60/Lit
- Motul 90pa LSD fluid (mineral) rm 108/Lit
- Motul GEAR FF-LSD TYPE 2 TOO Expensive +-rm145/Lit
- Redline Hi-perf SAE 75w-90 (synthetic) rm 60/Lit
- Redline Hi-perf SAE 75w-140 (synthetic) rm 60/Lit
I asked for opinions frm the vendors. I cum to a conclusion dat Besides d extremely xpensive Motul GEAR FF-LSD TYPE 2... Torco SGO SAE 75W90 is d best gearbox oil but too expensive (rm315/ 3 liters). Motul is good but mineral + also expensive. Leaving only the Torco RGO SAE 80W-90, Redline Hi-perf SAE 75w90 & SAE 75w140 as an affordable options-> rm60/lit.
First, i wanted to go wit Redline 75w-140... but d vendor advice me 140 viscosity is quite thick so it needs to be driven hard to warm up d fluid. So I made my decision to buy d Redline Hi-perf SAE 75w90 after reading its label hoping that d hypoid gear oil would perform well inside d LSD box (plus budget only +-rm200). :hmmmm: Besides dat, currenly i am using Redline LightWeight ShockProof in my GSR open-diff box and find it satisfying.
I also bought Torco's LSD friction modifier additive to b mixed wit redline fluid hoping it could reduce d chatter of d LSD.
Does anybody hav any experience using Redline Hi-perf SAE 75w-90 wit their full-lock lsd box or any of the fluids stated above?
Do u think d SAE 75w-90 is enuff or better swtch the fluid wit redline 75w-140 to protect d box in our Malaysian weather? :hmmmm2:
Thanx in advance
PS:
probably be changing d fluid after +-5/8k km. Depending on d driving conditions.
