Racing ATF
#961
You guys should read the thread over again. Racing is thicker than Z1 which is why some choose to mix Lightweight Racing with Racing to thin it out a little. D4 is about the same as Z1...on the thicker side.

...good catch, yes you are correct about Z1 being thicker than Redline racing fluid.
i meant to say that Z1 is thicker than the Redline lightweight ATF, so I apologize for any confussion that may have caused...
I'm running only the lightweight Redline ATF, so I can say with only the lightweight stuff in there about 9quarts worth it feels pretty solid....![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I believe it's in here somewhere the viscosity's of the ATF oils
but something like
Redline Racing=10cst
Z1=7ish
Lightweight = 4.9
Inaccurate can confirm these numbers as he was the one that posted the original thread with the viscosity numbers!

Here is a previous post comparing the viscosities (click here).

I Plan on doing a 3x3, 1 month in between.
I plan on using 6 quarts of lightweight 3 regular.
What is the best way to add the two types of oil?
Would adding 2 quarts light and 1 regular each time be the safest bet? I am not extremely interested in finding a sweet spot, but just going about it in the most logical t way so that once the change is complete I wont have to think about it for 60k miles.

I feel like I should add at least 1/3rd lightweight, but is it worth the extra 30-40$?
#967
Done reading the only thing can't get an affirmative answer on, probably because there is no right answer is should I do all racing ATF or add some lightweight, I am in North, Georgia so winter temps 20-40F.

I did 4 D&Rs. I did 9qts of Racing, and 3qts of Lightweight Racing. I'm confident in that. If you want to do 6qts Racing and 3qts Lightweight, you can't really go wrong. If you're only going to get 30-40 degrees in the winter where you are, you may be good with all Racing.
Go back over the last 4 or so pages of this thread and watch for posts between myself and I HATE CARS. You will get good answers from him on this subject.

can I have my spoon back now?
#969
I read that, I just don't like the fact that it would be a higher viscosity than stock and possibly to high on a very cold day? Whereas 1/3 lightweight could only help I suppose.

well, you asked the question, and I answered with what I have been doing at the direction of the 2 most prevalent experts in this thread. what else do you want?

Mods, there are a lot of "read the thread" comments, but the problem for folks new to this thread is that there are 972 posts. I think there are a few key posts with good factual data. Is there a way to get that copy and pasted into the first post?

Ok, time for me to report after almost about 2 yrs being with Amsoil fluid and 3rd and 4th pressure switch. From the begging, it was smooth throughout the gears. Lately though, the shifts are more noticeable. I can feel every gear.
Now, the question I have is, should I do 3x3 again but this time with Amsoil racing fluid and change the 3rd and 4th switches again?

^IHC,
much much thanks. Will take care of the switches asap. I value your opinion and have high respect. Where are you getting your switches from? I know you gave me a link 2 yrs ago, but that was 2 yrs ago. lol
Btw, when I check the fluid, it is the same color as it is in the bottle that I have from 2 yrs ago (left over).

I have a 99 tl with 4 speed tranny. From reading a lot of this thread I'm still not if I can run redline racing ATF in my tranny. Can I and if so how much is recommended?

Anyone know of a $5 coupon code that works for outdoorpros? Was going to order a case of racing. Its cheaper than Amazon already but i'd still like to get the extra 5 if i can. I haven't been able to find one.

just do a search for outdoor pros coupons you will find one. I did not to long ago
#990
If anyone else is looking to order the racing from outdoorpros I finally located a $5 off coupon code that would work. Most that I kept finding were expired. Use code OPSSAFFFB8A79. $112.45 including shipping for a case.

I plan on doing the drain and refill again 3 quarts and was wondering if I can do the redline type F even though I have the amsoil in there. Just to see how it is. I also plan on doing the 3rd and 4th pressure switches again and change the trans filter as well for the first time.
