redline gear oils for type R

i appreciate your concerns JETYPR, its more of a sometime sincro drama if that makes sense? just a little sticky 75% of the time. most of the time perfect, but just every now and then i feel it not be so smooth. ive read and talked to a few different people about redline gear oil, and all responses come up the same! apparentley its da best. try this stuff if you think you have sincro issue's, it will fix it and its life span is 200k to 400k k's!!! yep thats meant to be 400. so i think its worth a go, atleast b4 i dip into the box, if its an easy $90 fix, ill be pretty happy about that

i pick mine up tomorrow, so over the weekend ill put it in. ill let you all know the verdict

and the verdict is :) big smiles. redline is awesome, i cant believe the improvement. improved shifting (like honey) and so, so smooth. definatley worth the $$$ and definatley worth trying redline b4 ya worry about ya sincro's

How much? and does anyone know how often you should change them? According to the service manual, you are supposed to change the tranny fluid (this is with OEM fluid which is also good IMHO) every 40k (for those who do not track at all).

its gonna cost about $90, and redline thinks its lifespan is 400k k's, yep 400 thou??

I am a bit skeptical about that 400 thousand. But if that's the case, it will work out cheaper than using OEM fluid because you don't have to change as frequent.

honestly ill still change it frequently like every 10k but yeh 400k, thats what it says on the bottle

I was changing OEM oil every 10 000kms and redline still felt better than brand new OEM after 30-40 000kms. Once you use it you will never use anything else....

i have bought the lightweight shockproof gearbox oil many times.
they cost $120 for 3.785 litres

my dads company used to use redline oil for there race bike

and they went through 2 gearboxs because it just breaks down under heavy stress... i duno if anyone has experienced these problems but as soon as they changed to.... i believe it was castrol but i could b wrong they neva had another problem
