I have to say the Eneos gear oil works so much better in cold weather shifting!
its been like 10 degrees here on Boston and the MT-90 was killing me in early mornings shifts.
the Eneos is ready to go by the time i have my seatbelt on and ipod hooked up.

I would definitely recommend the manual tranny oil swap to anyone.
i drove with the MT 90 from about 12k till 23k.
i'm driving a 06 xa rs 3.0 with 23k

 

interesting I always had good luck with Redline and Royal Purple

 

Ive been hearing a lot of good things about Eneos. might be worth it living up here in NYC.

 

i been using eneos in my tc for a few months now switch from redline which i hated....eneos all the way...

 

Motul also makes a damn good transmission fluid.

 

Changed to eneos after redline started acting up on me after only 900 miles. been a year now and it feels great especially in this weather out here in NY

 

Thats what im using from now on out! I had Mobil 1 in it for 16k miles and had shifting problems, so i drained it and caught it in a big Dr. Pepper bottle. Long story short, everyone thought it was Dr.Pepper! Moral: Mobil 1 sucks!! ENEOS FTW!!!!

 

this is noob question but what is the weight to the transmission, i believe its 75w i have a shop here that sells eneos fluid and want to make sure i ask for the correct fluid can anyone tell me what i should ask when buying it and how many bottles to buy?

 

manual trans takes 2.5qts. of 75w90

 

tC takes 2.5 quarts.

1st gen xB/xA takes 1.9 quarts.

 

i have to say the difference between mt 90 and eneos is night and day.
This morning it was damn cold out here in boston and no problems! no thick feeling shifter or notchy shifts. super smooth and effortless.
It makes the econobox tranny on the Xa feel pretty damn nice!
i highly recommend switching to eneos if you are in cold weather climates, you'll thank yourself!
ps- i got my oil from swervemotorsports.com
the guys name was paul

 

good to hear......i felt the same way.....i was amazed......its cold here in NY also ....gonna do another change in spring time just to get the rest of the redline stuff out
