It should not be a problem. You may want to change the oil at a shorter interval the first time if you decide to switch back.

switched mine out - smooth like butter, VERY nice for the tranny. . .

thanks for the hook up - worth considering for your low/high mileage Evo. . .

Not sure about the synthetic to not synthetic switch. . . .I've run OEM for 64k miles and didn't have issues, but I figured I'd put in the goodness now since it lasted Erik 103k miles!!

You know it's the real oil because the SynTorq is almost a clear fluid. Find a dyno based oil that's clear

I know, but I just wanted to explain to people in case some didn't know you were joking

Let me know how it works for you. My Evo loves this stuff.

Erik, interested. So this stuff is completely safe to run on the MR tranny? I'm thinking of giving it a shot since I have a 2nd gear that tends to grind at high RPM shifts and also am looking to track more which will cause higher temps in the tranny. How did you draw fluid to send to blackstone without draining all the fluid?

Yes, it should be completely safe. I have been running this fluid for almost 100,000 miles on my MR tranny without issue. I have had a couple of Blackstone Lab reports which say everything is better than AOK for my mileage.

I sent to Blackstone during a tranny fluid change. This formula may also help keep temps a little lower, since that's what the LT stands for. "Low Temperature."
