The perfect transmission oil
Raist
i use amsoil in my 6 speed....
its like a new tranny, very very smooth now
my car will never see another brand of oil excpet amsoil.
once i went amsoil, i knew i would never use anything else.
i like the fact i change my oil at 3000 miles and it looks just the same as it did when i poured it in.

I'm going to do a fluid change soon and have a couple questions. Right now I'm planning on using amsoil for the tranny, transfer case, and differential (already running amsoil 0w-30 SSO in the engine). What exactly do I need and how much?
This is what I think I need. I just want to check before buying:
Transmission - 5 quarts of MTG
Transfer - .6 quarts of SVG severe gear lube
Differential - 2.7 quarts of SVG severe gear lube
Thanks!

You should only need 3 qts of the transmission and a qt each for the transfer and diff (though you will not use it all).
I got 3 qts for the trans and it was enough to fill it. I got 5 qts for the engine.

the only fluid i would keep oem would be transfer case
i hear from a couple shops that after people change it, it causes the tc to go out...
not sure if theres any truth to that, but i have heard it from more then one shop

I recommend the Castrol SynTorq LT for the 6 speed. It's what I run on my car.
IIRC, boostedwrx may be the only person I've heard of who doesn't like it. Perhaps his 6-speed unit was shimmed a little different from the factory than mine was?
Oil Doc was wondering if the SynTorq was GL-4. I took a look at the lable on the drum last night, and it is (I thought it was, I just couldn't remember off-hand).

I can tell you this I have been using Amsoil in my Evo 3 gearbox since 1996 and my Evo 6 as well since 2000 and I tell you now that there is absolutely no better shifting oil than that till today. Just can't find any other oil that would not grind the synchros when its hot. Absolutely the best!
What I want to know is if anybody has ever had problems directly due to an amsoil product?
Hundreds of EVO owners on this Forum and no problems.. I know that for fact.. It would be all over the boards if there was... Only ones you will hear from are the one's that never used it and perpetuate Myth's
Considering putting it into the car, but I'm worried about using non-oem fluids.

2 qts of SVG will do both the TC and Diff
5 qts of Engine oil
1 EAO Series Oil Filter.. Not a better filter on the market.
1 g2039 Pump for the Driveline fluids... Screws right on our Wide-Mouth bottles
