Amsoil MTF????
 
Anyone know where i can get some Amsoil synchromesh MTF??


i searched everywhere, seems no one sells it locally.


Lordco carries Royal purple and redline only

Phil@rise 07-07-2010 10:29 AM

I use RP or RL with good results from both

BEEB 07-07-2010 10:32 AM

I used Pennzoil and GM with good results too !

jtanner_ 07-07-2010 10:41 AM

I've used RL before with great results... you've got an rsx-s don't you?

Mugen EvOlutioN 07-07-2010 10:48 AM

ya
im sick and tired of 3rd gear pop lol

my 2nd gear dont grind

but 3rd gear likes to pop every once in awhile but mostly a wall when shifting


in winter time its more severe, which i came to a conclusion where i flush it every 5000-6000km than it shifts like butter, no pop no wall.

lately i been kinda lazy and havent flush it for almost 10,000km

the 3rd gear isnt as smooth, and the wall feeling seems to come back.
have always been using the oem mtf.,...but maybe its time to change


heard nth but great reviews on Amsoil's MTF



PS

i read someone down in the states claims that once you go synthetic, you cant go back (for tranny) potential damage?

BEEB 07-07-2010 10:59 AM

^ what car is it?

Mugen EvOlutioN 07-07-2010 11:03 AM

05 rsx s

BEEB 07-07-2010 12:27 PM

try the mix that Subaru guys made.
They put a quart of the heavy weight RL, synchromesh, and 2 quarts of regular castrol gear oil for the weak WRX 02-04 5 speed tranny. It helped a lot on subaru cars. I think Hypa tried it before too !

Mugen EvOlutioN 07-07-2010 01:10 PM

tats why i didnt wonna go with full motul

motul is thicker than oem, takes longer to warm up in the winter

otherwise i use motul everything


cant believe its this difficult to find amsoil locally


guess i may have to go for another route

BEEB 07-07-2010 02:37 PM

I used to have the same symptoms on my first batch 02' wrx 5 speed tranny.
I've tried castrol synthetic, motul synthetics, Mobil 1 syn. That all grind and block in gears.
But once i go back to mineral (75w90 valvoline) + GM synchromesh, it's very smooth and no problem whatsoever.

Mugen Evolution: I know that Newtype Mitsubishi (Rev Competition) and MF Technology sells Amsoil fluids...

If you call Newtype ask for Ken in parts dept....

Good luck.

blacK20 07-07-2010 07:07 PM

kms tools in coquitlam carries the entire amsoil line.

sweet thx a lot


KMS will be the closest

I've been using Motul Motylgear 10w40 myself for daily driving & lapping purpose for a good few years now. Shifts nice & smooth no matter it's sub zero or 30c+ outside.

Mugen EvOlutioN 07-08-2010 08:19 AM

That's because Scamsoil is sold thru Pyramid marketing like Mary Kay cosmetics. You need to find an independent agent for the stuff, who usually sell it out of their own homes. I'm sure there are plenty of them in BC

Bath Tussue 07-08-2010 09:05 AM

i use redline MTL.
it works quite well, even in the winter.
now after a year and 3 track days do i finally feel that i need to change it.

Mugen EvOlutioN 07-08-2010 09:20 AM

either im on crack or im blindfolded


i dont see KMS selling any lubricants

http://www.kmstools.com/

especially Amsoil

skyxx 07-08-2010 10:15 AM

Why don't you either give them a call or head on over to see if they have Amsoil in stock

Mugen EvOlutioN 07-08-2010 11:19 AM

sweet they have it

http://www.worldsbestoil.ca/Synchrom...-Fluid-MTF.php

$14 dollar a bottle


i think i need 5w-30 lol

Anjew 07-08-2010 11:22 PM

grandview tire on 12th and commercial has it also... both the 5w30 and the 75w90..

more expensive tho like 15 a bottle... maybe closer to you tho if you are in vancouver.

i just recently changed mine on my SI and the shifting is butter smooth

Anjew 07-08-2010 11:24 PM

if you got a honda/acura the 5w30 is recommended

tofu1413 07-09-2010 12:49 AM

using redline 10w40.


colder days would make the tranny a lil clunky on the ITR.. but other wise its not bad.

Mugen EvOlutioN 07-09-2010 11:02 AM

except u are probably running it in a 5 speed

hondas 6 speed is garbage :(

and so is Z/G's tranny
