Hi guys. I am thinking about running either running Redline MT-90 or Redline Heavy Shockproof. Is there any reason I should run MT-90 instead of Heavy Shockproof? Could Heavy Shockproof mess up the F35 trans for a daily driver?

Thanks for the advice.

 

why not use the oem fluid ????

 

I've tried the Redline fluid and the GM LNF fluid is better.
Also, see the stickied thread that discusses the OEM fluid for more info.

 

I run red line Mt90 is mine. Have for 80k works good and its way cheaper then oem fluid

 

Yeah I read all of it. I like the oem fluid, but I want to smooth out and quicken my shifts.

Then I got to thinking if Zzp runs MT-90 instead of oem there must be a reason behind it.

Also, I heard some guys are using heavy shockproof to take up some of the "shock" durring launch. However I don't know if Heavy Shockproof would work for a daily driver.

 

Just replacing stock fluid helped my smoothness out.

 

run the factory fluid!!

 

I actually went from whatever fluid came with my IRL to the Redline MT90, then to the LNF fluid and I liked the LNF fluid better - smoother and quicker shifting.

I've run the MT90 in previous cars and it was better than the OEM fluids there, but in the Cobalts/IRL's, the LNF fluid is the best choice.

 

Someone just give him the link or part number for the correct fluid already lol

I would but idk the number lol

 

Manual Transmission Fluid SAE 75W-85 GL/4 88862472

 

He said he already read the sticky thread about tranny fluids, which already has the PN's in it...

 

Well he still didnt seem to understand that oem is better

 

Lol thanks guys.... I was just wondering if the mt-90 would work better. If zzp is using it instead of oem there must be a reason.

 

mt90 is too thick. use oem or this:

Red Line Synthetic Oil - Gear Oil for Manual Transmissions - MT-85 75W85 GL-4 Gear Oil

 

Roger that. Thanks guys.

 

Maitnace for a lnf=OEM

 

Might be thicker but it meets standards and honestly it works better in the cold winters here for me never had an issue with the red line stuff and I change it out every 30k

 

factory oil is by far the best for the f35. ive run redline, and royal purple, went back to oe oil and shifting improved. i had redline mt-85 in mine before switching back to lnf fluid, the transmission was starting to develop some noise in neutral with the clutch out, that went away immediately when changed to lnf fluid.

 

Royal purple sucks no matter what.

 

MT90 actually doesn't meet the standards for the F35. Never heard of thicker fluid working better in cold weather, either.

 

i am not saying it works better in all cars or in this car all the time. just saying i have no issues with it after 80k maybe it was coincidence but on stock fluid i had my shifter freeze in place when i left the car in gear in sub zero temps..... got even colder this year. no stuck shifter with mt-90. i road race the car regularly and this fluid has never let me down.

thought the standard for the f-35 was a gl4 equivalent which to my knowledge gl4 is what mt-90 is rated to.

 

I'll say it again.... oem trans fluid. You can thank me later.

That's all I've ever used. 110k no issues

 

Yes sir. It's good stuff.

 

Oem is good not saying its bad. just saying I road race and have ran the other stuff a long time now and never have had issues. Bmy old lnf cobalt made 450ft lbs and never tore a trans apart either. Had 30k before I got hit by a semi truck
