MT Gear Oil debate - Stick with OEM?

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

There seems to be a lot of debate around gear oil on the 350z,

The Big Fluid list post recommends the RedLine stuff

However after some research on this forum and the American forums, Z owners have mix reviews on this.

 

Many people say sticking with the OEM to be best option.

I rang Jez at Horsham and he sells OEM pack with MolySlip Additive (which some people report to be the best)

 

So i ask, What gear oil have you guys used / currently using, and where do you stand on the matter?

 

Best Regards,

DarmoZ

Genuine Nissan OEM fluids every time for gearbox a diff.

 

Also concentrated Moly for the gearbox works for most.

 

Thanks Alex!

is there a special way to add the Molyslip to the oil? use the whole tube?

Use the double concentrate 65mm one shot tube and just squeeze into gearbox.

 

I usually half fill the box with fresh fluid, add the moly and then fill box with the rest of the fluid.

i see some with a huge syringe type device for the oil? Is this used to suck the remaining oil out thats possibly lower than the drain plug or to pump new oil in or.....its totally not needed???

 

To pump in the fluid.
