Just wondering... since that 2005s comes with ACDs... does it need different
gear fluids?

I used to run MT-90 for my transaxle with ok results... want to try something else.
Heard of Pennzoil Syncromesh... and some Neo product (dont know the full
name)... any other recommendation for the transaxle?


For the transfer case and rear diff, I ran Amsoil Series 2000 75w90... but Amsoil
have discontinued that product... so I'm now looking for replacement...
Need recommendation as well... I assume 2005 front and rear diff could run
the same fluid


Thanks!

 

Found this:




I might use http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/svg.aspx for front & rear diffs...

 

I only use and recommend that everyone only uses http://www.neosyntheticoil.com/ products. They are notches above anyone else...

Thanks 4-BNGR.. but I can't find spec nor price from the site... where could I
get more info?

I assume you use 75-90 HD or 75-90 RHD for all 3 gear locations?

 

Ya.. found more info on Neo's website...

75w90 HD looks like a GL-4... for transaxle:

75w90 RHD looks like a GL-5 can be used for front & rear diffs:

or..

75w90 EP for all?


I also heard of use of GM gear oils... forgot the name...

 

Never mind.. GM's syncromesh is the same as Pennzoils...

But Pennzoils doesnt even have a GL rating.. not putting that in my car.

Neo is out of CA. You probably have a local dealer...

 

Found more data thru search on this site..
