i even ran 75w110 amsoil svg and noticed mpg loss! switched back to 75w90

 

i run stock fluid only in my TC and stock/and now TRE rear. i do full fluid changes every 500 miles or less. yes im crazy. but it makes for a consistent setup and reliability.

 

how big of a loss are we talking?


I don't drive the car everyday so I don't think it will matter for me.

 

2-3mpg highway, hopped right back up as soon as i switched back, pretty surprising

 

^ wow that is pretty surprising

 

yeah - so i was like well it's still cold, not doing anynthing with the car yet, might as well just switch back. if i were running the car i'd def do 75w110 at least

 

great post - i just sent my personal Evo 8's rear diff, front diff/xfer case and trans off to TRE. I cant imagine anyone, anywhere providing a more thorough and complete driveline service than TRE.

btw - its very straight forwards and pretty easy to drop the rear diff and front xfer case, just takes some tools, time and elbow grease. The end result is 110% worthwhile

totally agree, but it is also a worthwhile idea to address the swaybar bushes

 

Damn LOL some people don't even do theirs at 15k rofl I do mine every 10k

 

Geoff, isn't John the best dude to work with? TRE is the ONLY place (guy) touching any of my drive-line parts! He is super friendly, very funny, and truly knows his ****! Also, he goes so far beyond doing the minimum for his customers and his pricing is, IMHO, MORE than fair for the quality of his work. He did our trans and rear diff, and as soon as he's finished developing the new t-case side cover and a few other mods, my t-case will be the first one there for service.

 

yikes. 10k. haha. i could probably resell the fluid i take out. hahaha

 

Dan, you sound like me with the OCD with the clean fluids! LOL! I love seeing ALL of my fluids come out the same way they looked going in. IDC at all about cost of doing this either. Small price to pay as far as I look at it. Everything stays buttery smooth this way.

 

yea man. if **** is gonna break its gonna break. but it wont break on my car because of poor fluid quality.


my girl gets mad at me i oder more car fluids then i do with a food shopping list.

added a link to pictures where you can kind of see the diff working in some places

 

what kind of lip/splitter are you running? looks good

 

APR splitter, I want to eventually do what binary did and make it a reinforced chassis mounted splitter.
