GSR Motor Oil

[Aussie]

Any Synthetic oil is good, but I fully understand using regular if your motor blows a quart a week.:lol:

Eh, I still put sythentic in my oil burner

 

[TegSox]

There's decent regular, like Quaker State or Valvoline....and then there's Walmart and Dollar Store regular, lol.

btw a couple friends say you can use motor oil for your tranny? is that true? if so what kind for a GSR... i think someone said get the sae hd-30?

My tranny comes with motor oil in it from the factory. lol

it works. :thumbs up

 

[DailyDB8]

lol, any particular type for the gsr tranny? 5w30 10w30 or just 30? is synthetic recommended or jus regular oil will do?

i ask cause i saw a bottle of synthetic tranny oil for like $25 a quart.... so i was like WTF?

 

[Kuchtaboy]

I dunno if yours works for it. let me check. lol

 

[Kuchtaboy]

yup.

SAE Viscosity: 10W-30 or 10W-40
API Service Grades: SF or SG

GM Synchromesh is the only way to go. That shit works wonders

 

[DailyDB8]

c0o. i bought some cheap heavy duty 30 oil, guess i'll return it for some 10w30 for the tranny. thank for the help

 

[Kuchtaboy]

yup d00d

GM Synchromesh is the only way to go. That shit works wonders

i want to, but that stuff isn't cheap, i jus need to change the tranny oil since its been like 2+ years... and its over due for a oil change

 

[dc2GS-R]

It makes such a difference though. Worth it IMO. DSM's hate to be quickshifted even if you're tranny is brand new. With GM in it, doesn't mind one bit.

Me and my friends just pitch in and buy big cases of it. Sit down and do the S2K, RSX and my car at the same time

 

[DailyDB8]

haha sounds tempting, i might as well... only way to purchase them is from GM dealers right? but if i dont get the syncromesh, is the 5w30 okay for the gsr tranny?

 

[spikehairboy]

not good to use normal motor oil in your tranny. u WILL notice shittyness. i know people can sit here alll day to argue with me, fact is they are formulated quite differently additives, friction modifiers and such. OEM or synthetics for me.

i use ROYAL purple 5w30 in my gsr
