I would stick to the OEM stuff because you need that thin ATF like fluid in order for the clutches to operate properly. If you use thicker fluids, the clutches will slip more especially in cold temperatures increasing wear and reducing their lifespan, more slippage = more heat.

The willall is specifically made for the wet clutch trans. It is alledgedly better than the oem fluid. Its ability to facilitate clutch grip is claimed to be significantly better than the oem fluid. Everyone should probably read the threads and do some research before voting....

not the best word to use. it winds up being nothing more than hearsay. "proven" is the word everyone should be looking for.

al·leged
ADJECTIVE:
Represented as existing or as being as described but not so proved; supposed.


I think I mispelled, but I used the word intentionally. The reason for using it is that though I have no reason to doubt Willall (and I don't), I could not find any independant verification, with supporting numbers of their data.

Here is a link to there site: http://www.willallracing.com.au/lubricants.htm

It could very well be better than the OEM fluid but there is some grey area in regards to warranty if you have a failure using the non-OEM fluid. For most people it would be best to stick with OEM until there is a good body of evidence of use with the willall fluid as the info on their website is about as convincing as an AMSOIL website (not very convincing to me) which while being a good synthetic has never been the be-all-end-all they advertise.
