Yeah, I've heard a few stories about Redline products. I stick with Motul for all lubricants. Never done me wrong and great operating temps with and without the cooler.

DO NOT USE REDLINE! Simple as that. It'll get rid of the crunch, but it'll do worse then its doing good, i know first hand.

Simply put, its good for SOME track cars that get driven every few weeks, and get warmed up for 15 min prior to use... its not suitable for street use... no matter what anyone says.

After talking to my mechanic (who track their DC5r) use OEM or Motul (OEM for street use only, Motul if you track or drive the car hard)

don't go to homebush dealer to look at their dc5r. light damage everywhere, it is just crap even tho it has low km.
like holes left in the plastic on both side of the A pillar from the previous owner installing the speakers there.

Their DC5R is white aye? I went to that homebush honda dealershop yesterday. had a look at it. to be honest, it looks like shit. the cars interior is just so dirty and they claim its only done 50,000 kms. shes sells for 36g. i think its a engine rebuild.

Either way, there is no differance between these models.

look out for one that have a high pitch "whine/yell" coming from the engine when revs are over 5500 PRM... its a common problem with the DC5r...............

I think the last dc5r was a 04?

So what's wrong with using Redline? I switched to redline about 10,000kms ago. It got rid of the crunch for about a week but it's back again but now the gearbox warms up faster than before and the crunches disappear after about 5mins of driving compared to 1hr back then.

Ask yourself this simple question...

Do you want to replace your gearbox or not.
