Expensive but excellent oil. Will make a difference to how your gearbox feels when changing gears. this oil is the best on the market for manual gearboxes it really stops the gear grinding when you change gears and being such a thick oil it really protects the gears and prolongs the life of the box.

HI guys
just went to a couple of auto stores peps / repco ect they are d***head they have no idea ... i went to repco i asked for lubrizol oil additive for transmissions and he said whats that for i told the guy that i had a falcon 5 speed and i was going to add the lubrizol to trans fluid and put it in the gear box. he said that you shouldnt use trans fluid in manual boxs . i told him that ford reccomend the use of dexron fluid... he went out the back and asked about lubrizol no one there had ever heard of it... who makes lubrizol??? does anyone know where i can get it from . im in the liverpool/parramatta area... thanks |

and ford then re-sells it at twice the price?

Had my mechanic put redline oil in. Was brillant, the shift was easier and faster.
