Oil advice and recommendations

[macer]

Would there be much difference running Motul 10w 40 over Motul 5w 40?
I always use Motul 5w 40 but its out of stock for about another month and I badly need to change the OIL.

 

[oilman]

Nope, both are fine.

GEARBOX OIL

just wondering is motul 75w140 fully synthetic gear oil ok for my 01 dc5
it has an uprated diff hence me using it and will it cause premeture wear to the synchros.
gear changes feel fine thou

 

[oilman]

It wouldnt be my choice as its suhc a high viscosity when hot, but many are using it without issue, the quality is certainly very very good.

Thanks for the reply. What would you recomend

 

[C&S Evo7]

oem honda mtf is fine even with uprated diff, as Guy says, visc is mighty high

 

[oilman]

As the diff is fed by the gearbox its not really a problem for the oil, not like a rwd lsd as a sealed unit. We just recommend you go better then oem, a decent synthetic such as the Amsoil MTF or the Redline MTL and change on a regular basis if an after market diff is fitted and its used hard http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-670-75w-80-75w-85-mtfs.aspx

hi im driving an '01 dc5 with 100k+ mileage. i have plans to run it on trackday on the 26th of april. transmission and engine seems a bit sluggish, my style of driving was always hard on the tranny and engine because of quick high rev shifting and down shifting mostly for grip...

could u recommend me the best to use motul engine oils, mtf, or brake fluids?

Cheers and tnx!

 

[oilman]

Motul 300v 5w-40 for the engine and Motul RBF600 for the brakes.

for the gearbox either the Redline MTL or the Amsoil Synthetic MTF.

Hi, I've emailed you anyway but it might be useful for a post on here.

I'm trying to find out exactly how much oil to buy for a full service.

Gearbox Oil
Engine Oil
Brake Fluid

Can't find a definitive answer anywhere?

Thanks, Matt.

is the REDLINE lightweight Synthetic Gear Oil 75W-80 a good choice for the dc5 gearbox and lsd

 

[oilman]

It should be fine

Which would be better Redline 75W-80 or 75W-90?
