I plan to change my transmissionn and rear end fluids to synthetics. Of course I'll drain all the fluids out that I can but if there is still some Dino fluid left, can the 2 peacefully coexist? Anything to look out for?

 

Most synthetics are Dino Compatible...I don't think you would have any problem...Redline MTL, and Mobil 1 have worked well for me....

 

I'm using RedLine MT-90 in my trans and RedLine 75W90 Gear Oil in my limited slip diff. I'm quite happy with both, shifting is way smoother and my diff doesn't chatter any more.

 

hey how much does that redline cost?

 

$7-$10 a quart in the parts stores Ive found it in.

holy crap! thats like 13 - 15 cdn per L , and an se needs what 6 L of fluid in the tranny and rear end... thats $100 total.. Is it really worth the change?? my se is gettin up there in kms, 270,000 kms i think.... still runs awesome...

 

No-one says you gotta use Red-line. There's other good syns out there. Like the Wrench-hand said, Mobil One works fine for him, and it sure helps my 'ol Silver run 'er best....
