Tim helped me out yesterday on recommendations and having used Opie oils before I can confirm the service is great.

Will not hesitate to use them again,

 

Me too mate, very helpful guys indeed.

 

Whats the best oil to use in a saff cossie 4x4 gearbox and diffs.

 

Hi

Although it's a manual, an ATF is the best fluid for the gearbox and the best options are the Amsoil ATF, Red Line D4 or Fuchs ATF6000, although the others are fine as cheaper alternatives.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-771-dexron-iii.aspx

Any of these in a 75w-90, 80w-90 or SAE90 are fine for the diff, although the 75w-90s are the best options.

Nissan skyline gearbox and transfer for rallying - extreme pressure springs to mind, your suggestions welcome.

Thanks

 

Hi

Is it out of a R34 GTR or one of the other Skylines? Is the diff off a V-Spec?

Cheers

Tim

 

The centre diff is the same across R32/33, not using the rear v spec.
Mine is R32 version.

 

Hi

You need a 75w-90 for the gearbox.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-...ion-fluid.aspx

If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Gulf Competition, Motul Gear 300, Red Line MT90 and Millers TRX are ideal for the gearbox. The Castrol Universal/Universal Plus/Syntrans Multivehicle, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives.

You need an ATF for the transfer box and I would go for either the Amsoil ATF, Motul Multi ATF, Fuchs ATF4400, Gulf Multi Vehicle ATF, Castrol ATF Multi Vehicle or Millers Millermatic ATF SPIII.

The diffs need a 75w-90 GL5 oil.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-...ion-fluid.aspx

The Fuchs Syn 5, Millers CRX, Redline 75w-90 GL5, Motul Gear 300 and Gulf Competition are ideal for the diff. The Fuchs Sintopoid, Castrol Syntrax Longlife, Millers TRX, Motul Motylgear, Mobil SHC and Amsoil FGR are also good choices.
