Ok Its nubbie question and answer time! I love my AMS full syn. motor oil and no mater what a few others love their syn motor oil 2. But What abotu full syn. tranny fluid? We all love to push our rides but I dont think i've seen anyone say they go syn. tranny fluid. Is it worth it? If you are runnin full syn. tranny fluid, what you working with and do you feel the diff? I would love to hear any info you can share.

 

Newbie needs to use the search feature because this has been talked about hundreds of times before! Royal Purple Max Gear 75W-90 and call it done for short.

 

WEll being a nubbie- i did a nice look around and saw that still everyone says use a full syn tranny fluid but again there is not diff answer. Purple is on the list But so is Ams which is what kind of oil i drop in my ride. But thanks for puffin out ur chest cause you so smart and now i search-but not for your ego.

 

relax noob... if you looked at the other posts and found your answer... then y waste every1's time???

 

actually castrol makes the lsj transmission fluid and it has no equivalent as per castrol who also makes a 75w90 synthetic fluid

Thank You for Contacting Castrol North America ,



Unfortunately the Burmah Bot products are only available at your dealer. Castrol does not manufacture an equivalent.

My transaxle specifies Castrol Burmah BOT 0063 yet I can not find any specifications for this fluid, nor can I find just this fluid. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Well "nubbie", I can contest that I have personally posted in at least 5 different threads as to which tranny fluids we can use. I was not "puffin out" my chest, and I even was nice enough to give you the answer on my preferred fluid. If you think I was mean, then you need to meet some of the others on here. I'm actually one of the more helpful people!

These are the only ones that meet the GL4 requirement so far that I've found are as follows:

Royal Purple Max Gear 75W-90
Saturn Manual Transmission Fluid P/N 21018899 (Made by Castrol Burmah Bot)

I will say from my own personal useage the Royal Purple Max Gear straight up kicks the Saturn ***** ass hands down. Way smoother shifts, shock protection, and just far superior all around performance. RP gets the

 

what part of cali you in blkman0072?

 

Southern Cali- Riverside county as a matter of fact jus chillen. See you up in da capital city chillen! man its got to be gettin hot out there!

 

yeah for sure. It's in the 90's today =/

 

Let me retract my past statments- you da man! Also I should have added that I'm an auto trans guy but that helps a ton cause lookin at web info u dont know what they hell stuff is. Plus there are people addin to this site every day so we nubbie's dont see all the old threads all the time plus know rite off all the ways to move around in here. But every day you learn something and now I know how to search- Hold me back i'll lightin this ish on fire!

 

Oh ****, your an auto tranny! Then none of this applies. I'd have to look into it, but I'm guessing you'll need some synthetic ATF then! I'm deployed right now, so I can't go the dealership and get the specs to see what's out there or I would. I still recommend Royal Purple products though as I've had amazing results with them in all three of my vehicles!

 

synthetic dexon IV or V

 

Ok I did some diggin and now I'm all messed up- My book calls for Dexron VI for 06 and above? Now what the hell is that equal 2. Didnt even know it went that high or is it some messed up info its out of the Haynes GM repair manual? So your help is much needed if you can.

Hey2K- be safe man, i know your peeps all want you back whole and not mentally messed up!

 

Thanks man. I should be good where I'm at though. I'm in the rear with the gear this time, but still playing in the sand!

 

LOL, he spelled Noobie/Newbie wrong..........welcome Nubbie!

 

I think he did it on purpose, so I followed suit with my responses!

 

Well 2K glad to hear that you got the rite gear- heard that that was a problem over there for a min- not to say that there are peeps over there still tryin to get the rite gear. This dexron 6 ATf stuff is making it crazy. It something that GM came out with that an spec upgrade of dexron 3 I guess and it a syn. blend- whatever the hell tha means. So now because of some info u gave me I got my shovel and goin to work. So thanks for the one up man and drink lots of water cause i know its gettin hot here So i know its crazy hot there.
