This question goes out to the folks who have 3G supercharged TLs.

1) What kind of tranny fluid you use? (I used Redline)
2) How often are you changing your fluid?



thanks

^I think its his wife.

I have an M/T. I use GM Snycromesh. I change it once a year or every 15K or so.

I use redline also, I haven't changed it yet (have had my blower about a year)

BustedJack

Hmmm... once a year or every 15,000 is quite often. I'd think it's every 30k but I guess it all depends on each individual. I'm hitting 20k soon and is thinking about changing it. Where could I get those RedLine products, the only place I knew was ComptechUSA and they seemed to be closed for now.
Thanks for the response Dan.

BustedJack

Do you remember how many qts it takes? I think I put 3 or 4 last time, but I had my buddy did it for me. ugh can't remember now....

I hope this is on-topic...how big a horsepower gain did the supercharger give you guys?

i don't remember, but i remember i thought about switching it out and i bought 4 qts of the GM stuff... Comptech and some other online sites sell the Redline stuff by the gallon, so that might be the way to go..

BustedJack

ComptechUSA is closed for now so I can't get anything from them thus far.
I remember buying 4 qts, but not sure if it takes 3 or 4. hmmm...

Amsoil ATF - uses just under 4 qts at a change.

if your in ny or northern nj area, i got my tranny fluid swapped out for that at a place called cefola's in Valley Cottage, NY. they do it quick, check all your fluids, and it's not expensive... check out location on mapquest... good luck

DMZ wrote this about using GM synchromesh

"You need about 2¼ qts, so you have to buy 3. Save the extra so you only have to buy two next time around."

PoochaKannInc

^ Mine used all three qts (not supercharged), but I do use GM Synchromesh.

BustedJack

2.25 qts, 3 qts and last time my technician put 4 qts. WTF! Well, my car has been running with 4 QTS in the last say 20k miles and no problems. Everyone is saying 3 QTs except my buddy Ryan. He's never wrong but everyone's saying just a bit under 3 or around 3 while he says 4

hmmmmm..........
Must do some more research or just trust him lol

Yo Jack. Whats up man? Long time no see. Just check the tranny fluid with the dipstick and see if its overfull.

BustedJack

Paul,

How you been buddy! It's been forever since I last saw you. How's the supercharged mustang? I'm sure with your enthusiasm, it's probably at 455whp? You miss the TL at all lol....
Ryan put 4 QTS last time and seems to be a bit over but not too much. It hasn't harmed anything so I dunno, I trust the guy.

BustedJack

We need to meet up and check out your car. Last time I rode in that stang, it was still stock.

I've been using stock oil haha, no problems I use pennzoil 5w20 well that's what acura dealerships use so I don't know, how many qt's you would need I'm getting my oil change here about 6 hours so i'll let you know....

Wrong oil....they are talking transmission. AND....your Acura dealer should be using Mobil One....not Pennzoil.

i think he was referring to the GM Syncromesh which is for manual, not automatic. so just under 4 qts for the auto seems about right. if you are in the NY area, theres a ton of places on Long Island that sell redline.

BustedJack

What the hell are you talking about?! We're talking Tranny fluid here not Engine oil

BustedJack

Problem is 4 QTS for complete flush but what about just draining it? I'm still waiting for Ryan's response. He'll be changing mine anyway, so most likely I'd go with whatever he says. I'm just curious as to what others think as well.

Aznpersuasion

nope not acura here, they use pennzoil on all acura cars here..
