Is this better than Red Line 75W80 API GL-4 Manual Transmission and Transaxle Lubricant? Which is better overall? For protection and smoother shifting

Honda MTF is almost like a regular 10-30 motor oil except is has an additive in it that is good for internal transmission of a honda.. 75w80 is wayy to thick for hondas. Second choice wwould be regular motor oil but not recommend

If your service specification is GL-5, then this will work. This is an oil normally used in a hypoid gear rear end. It is not recommended for manual transmissions with synchro mesh gears.

Yes, I think so. The full synthetic racing oil will give you more lubrication and protection, especially at extremes. I noticed in my 2011 Kawasaki Concours which was already extremely smooth and quiet, that after I switched to 4T that it seemed to shift even smoother. I would recommend.

I would actually strongly recommend a different Lucas product, which is the transmission fluid conditioner. Seeing as your fluid is new, the conditioner would be a better fit. The transmission fix is for serious transmission problems like slipping or late shifting. Having said that, It couldn't hurt. However, if you flushed the entire body of trans fluid, you should be fine. This product is made to rejuvenate old fluid. It may act as added protection, but the best results I've seen have been with adding the product to old fluid. For the price, you're not in the hole too much if you don't find a notable difference...

This fluid is supposed to be compatible with nearly all automatic transmission fluid types. It actually has an additive package that makes 'standard' fluids into 'premium' formulations with better lubrication and friction qualities. I am not familiar with your model but if the trans (either automatic or manual) calls for ATF, this additive should work fine.

GM #12378261 is a part number, not a spec. Royal Purple Max Gear 75W90 is perfectly appropriate for use in the G80 differential used in some GM trucks. The limited-slip friction modifier in Max Gear oils will not alter or degrade the performance of a locking differential.

Preferable to use chain oil rather than motor oil. Sticks to the chain better, and it's more visible.

Ignore the guy who suggests not using synthetic fluids. Some ENGINES can have issues with leakage after switching to a synthetic. But not transmissions. Your car REQUIRES a synthetic trans fluid anyways- using a conventional fluid WILL damage it! However, your car has the Mercedes 5- speed automatic, commonly called the NAG-1 transmission. The only aftermarket fluid I know of that meets the specs for this trans is Valvoline MaxLife synthetic.

This is suitable for use in differentials; you do want gear oil not manual transmission oil or any other usually.But you should consult references for your car regarding what fluid is specified for the application. If this is 75W90 synthetic gear oil, than this product will serve well.

Yes, if your transfer case calls for a transmission fluid, if not then a gear oil is what you need, Royal Purple makes that to.

This is a top of the line ATF that will out perform pretty much all other products out there.. However, at 190,000 miles, the quality of your rebuild will probably be the deciding factor in your transmission life vs the quality of the fluid. So you may be better served sticking with something much cheaper.

I had it in my 07 softail was great at first after 300 miles got hard to down shift drained it out found metal on the drain plug .refilled with mobil vtwin took about 100 miles till it was easy to down shift again so far trans is ok will never use gear shock again hope this helps

Mine is an auto transmission. No problems working the pedals and fit is perfect. I can't imagine it would affect shifting in a manual.

Hi Robert,The "LS" stands for limited slip. Not all gear oil is approved for limited slip applications so do be careful. The description on the bottom line says "Excellent limited-slip performance. Reduced chatter and improved traction" so I would assume this should be okay. Also Mobil 1 is one of the best oil manufacturers out there. I used it in my tranfer case and differential which aren't limited slip so I can't comment on how well it works that way. I can tell you this, I am going to change the gear oil again this fall and I will use this oil again. Hope that helps. Hi Robert,The "LS" stands for limited slip.

BE CAREFUL. This fluid is for inside your manual transmission, not the clutch resivour which requires dot3. For the clutch use dot3 which is a brake fluid!
