According to the 240SX manual,
Transmission oil: GL-4
Differential oil: GL-5
Silkolene meets both GL-4 and GL-5 requirements.
I just bought a S13 and a weld diff.
Can I just use Silkolene oil for both the transmission and differential? I know most people will recommend Red Line MT-90 Manual Transmission Lubricant for the transmission, but I can save some money if I can just buy Silkolene oil for both the transmission and differential.
Thanks! |
Why don't you just run LUCAS Gear oil (80W/90) from Autozone. They have that climbing additive and LSD friendly. I changed it on my VSLD and Tranny, it's very good. Also running Castrol GTX HighMileage 10w40 with OEM Nissan oil filter.
I think oem specs are 75w90. but 80w90 pretty close.
When doing the tranny and differential, make sure you use Teflon tape around the drain and filler bolts, just for a little extra seal.
Lucas oil is a reputable company and they are track proven. I would just go with something that is more convienient and reliable.
Silkolene is UK product and I dont' know much about them. I would use Lucas and GL-4 would be adequate on the differential. Regular gear oil in the tranny is fine.
