Subject: RE: [s-cars] Synthetic Oils

[Mike Platt]

What was the qty needed for the tranny and diff? I
just bought 4 liters, which I hope covers it all. I
ordered the Castrol Synthetic, from Blau, as I live in
cold climates. I have seen some people with RedLine
talk about the drag effect when cold. Hoping for good
results with Castrol.
I am replacing my PS diff seal and rear tranny seal.
We'll see what pours out, or what's remaining.

At 130K miles the oil that came out of mine looked
gross and smelled
putrid,
so I'm glad I changed it.  I used MT-90 and think that
shifting got
slightly
smoother.  I don't live in a particularly cold climate
so can't comment
if
the cold weather behavior is any better or worse.
