2010 M6/TR6060 Oil - what's optimal these days? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Standard · 09-23-2023, 01:16 PM

I have 120k on it, probably should change it. I have no problems and are a heavy double-clutcher; but that's still a lot of miles on the oil now.

I'm asking for ideas on the best oil these days, hopefully from people who have put it in their car and driven on it for a bit.

Thanks,

I used the Amsoil ATF Multi Vehicle and I have been very happy with it, Temp stays low and shifts smooth.

I used royal purple, and have had zero issues. Shifts smoother I feel.

Gonna get plenty of opinions on here. I've been very happy with the performance of Redline D4 ATF. Have run this for ~40k miles, very happy with the overall performance. It's been changed a time or two, since I run the car pretty hard at times, but every time I've dropped the oil I've thought it looked brand new, seems to hold up very well and I plan to extend my interval out some given those results.

Redline D4 ATF x2

been curious if it would cause any harm to cut d4 with mt85, maybe .5-1 qt. ive been using d4 for the past almost 15k without issue, but i kick the crap out of my car and also live in the desert so im wondering if the mt85 would help with anything. plus i have a couple quarts lying around that ill never use for anything else.

i used gm syncromesh. it usedto say on the bottle: does not break down. i believe it changed stock out when i first got the car. then was going to have libertys redo it with the fork pads etc. ended up going full bore with it but thats another story. when i drained it after about 15k miles it still looked like golden honey no bull s**t. i took a picure of it draining i coundnt believe it.
