Anyone use Lucas gear oil is that any better? I'm taking my car up to the dealership, to see what they say or what they can do, just want to be on the safe side. But i'll make sure to drain that Mobil 1 asap.

it's whatever they decide to throw their label on

i'm not gonna say what brand because i'm probably wrong anyway

i'm not the oil expert around here, there's like 53445 experts.

hatchbackkid82 · 03-04-2009, 12:16 PM

i'd recommend flushing the mobil1 out.

buy 3quarts of the new oil
drain out the mobil1

add 1qt of new oil

drive for 15 miles or so, nothing highway speeds

drain out 1qt of mixed oil

add 2qt of new oil

hatchbackkid82 · 03-04-2009, 01:24 PM

let me ask you guys this. when i put the mobile 1 in there i just drained what was in the tranny and filled it back up with mobil 1. What makes a drain and flush a drain flush. When i change my oil i always run the engine flush through there for 5 mins then drain everything and replace with new oil. Anything flush like that for mt?

i have used GM synchromesh gear oil on Hondas ( B ad K series)when they would have a similar grind and have had very good results. In PR people also use it for E90 M3's since the rear end whinds like crazy and I also quites it up. As far as weight I do not remember what I used.

in colder climates, stick to lighter weights

i run 80/90 in mine

hatchbackkid82 · 03-04-2009, 01:46 PM

yeah this is what is use before i change my oil, you add it to the crankcase, turn the car on, let it circulate through the engine for 5 mins, and then just do a normal oil change. Is there anything like this for MT, or is it really just a drain and fill
