Arrow Got my redline oil :) a few ?'s

Well today I had some time to spare before going to work from shcool, so I
stopped at Titan Motorsports (in Orlando), and got 3 quarts of MT-90.

Now I know its not a full 3 quarts, but I forgot the exact amount that goes
in, How much is it?
Also from experiace, what is the easiest way to fill it? Funel with logn
tube that they sell at auto parts?, or soem kind of pump or something?

I'm gona go to the dealer on friday and order the speeodo gear that goes in
the tranny. and then next week I'll take advange of the of the timing,a nd
change my oil, speedo gear, and tranny fluid all at once. Next comes Diff
fluid.


hmmmm next on my list for next week : set of AGX strut/shock for $355, ACV
block plate, Mazdatrix fuel press bleeder (any one have any input on those)

FYI, that press bleeder is sorta like an H pipe that goes between the fuel
lines and the take in/return fuel pipes by the oil filter. What it does is
bleed the fuel line's pressure when the car is shut off to prevent flooding
from leaky injectors/seals.

Do any of you who have used it have any "go for it" or "Dont waste your
money" inputs on this item b4 I buy it?

Specs called for exactly 2.6 liters.&nbsp This is slightly less that 3 quarts.

I'd recommend a "mechanics syringe" which is like a big hand pump.&nbsp Easy to fill from underneath...

Definitely u'll need the pump. Just buy one from Pep Boys (the ones that bolt straight onto your Redline bottle), and pump away~!

I was wondering about getting this, for performance reasons, and i havn't really seen anything on it, thats the only reasons i would need it becuz my tranny is like brand new and shifts smooth as ever, so would it be worth my time and $$$ to put some in? maybe some more hp or torque becuz easier to move the drivetrain?
anyone notice any difference?

Well its for the long run with new tranny's. If you start using it now, you will make it last longer than what it would.

My case is different. My trany has 165K on it, and its strating to grind, well its been grinding is 3rd mostly but its gettign worse.

Many people have said and prove that you cand add more life and smooth shifitng by using redline in it.

So to answer your question NO, its not a waste of money.
