For some reason I can't get their website to work correctly and I'd like to know the viscosity of their 10w-30 and 5w-30. I'm also wondering if they still use that slick 50 garbage in their formulation. I didn't see any mention of it on the front of the bottles that I looked at last night.

I believe Transynd came out in 2002 when Dexron IIIG was the current spec. I doubt it was ever tested for the H spec.

A thicker fluid will create more line pressure. All of castrol's fluids are pretty thick. Castrol domestic, import, and high mileage are all around 8.0. Pennzoil high mileage is probably the thickest fluid I've seen with a viscosity of 8.5 at 100 celsius. I believe Pennzoil's mercon v is around...

All I did was ask them the viscosity of one of their fluids.

That's funny because on Oreilly's oil page Omni states they use Lubrizol as the supplier for additives for their oils and transmission fluids.

industry. Contacted them about one of their transmission fluids yesterday. I got a reply within an hour. Why can't the larger oil company's have customer service like that?

Flash point is not very good. http://www.valvoline.com/pdf/SynPower_Gear_Oils.pdf You get what you pay for.

I read a post by a guy on a Land Rover forum that said he had success with Lucas slowing his ps leak. I can't say from personal experience.

Originally Posted By: dparm Can you shed some light on what the manufacturer recommendation is? Quantity, viscosity, GL rating, change interval, etc? I believe its 80w-90, GL-5 and holds 1 3/4 quarts. Chilton says it should be changed every 15,000 miles.

Almost forgot, Castrol says that their fluid does not need the limited slip additive. Should I add it anyways? Gm said they wanted 12 bucks for the additive which I think is ridiculous for 4 ozs of fluid.

Would like some recommendations for gear oil. I've read that some people have had trouble with synthetic. I just bought the car about a month ago and I don't know the maintenance history. It's not making any noise or leaking but I'd like to change it. I'm thinking about going with Castrol hypoy...

Isn't it just relabeled Synpower?

I wanna add a trans cooler to my 97 Corolla with 142,000 miles. There is not a lot of room in the engine bay of the corolla and their is a fan on both sides of the radiator. Can someone recommend a quality cooler that would be small enough to fit in this application.
