What is the best trani and rearend fluids to use to possibly free up some power for 1/4 mile and still protect well?

Petersimov · 10-19-2010, 04:14 PM

Amsoil is the best in my opinion

ROD1 · 10-19-2010, 07:32 PM

I see amsoil makes racing formula. Better?

Royal purple makes a great product, only after the motor is broken in though...

I'm using Royal Purple in mine; Synchromax for the trans and Maxgear for the diff. Works like a champ.

If u got the money Amsoil is the best 0w-30 or if ur supercharged 15w-50

Does the Syncromax help with the notchy feel and difficult 3rd gear issues? I tried Mobil1 but made it worse so I went back to GM stock fluid!

Mine shifts smoothly with no issues going from 2nd to 3rd. Trans and diff are quieter too.

See post #48 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...t=97186&page=2. He's using Amsoil Torque Drive. Anyone else try this brand?

For the Manual trans it uses 4.2 qts of Synchromax oil for the trans, and 1 qt Max Gear 75w90 for the differential. Synchromax doesn't have different weights; it's just Synchromax.
