Thread: MOTUL Gear Oil recommendation?

I couldn't find the Redline MTL gear oil at a local tuning shop. However, the owner offered me some MOTUL gear oil for the tranny for my 98. I'm sort of hesitant about this.

Anyone use Motul products?

Depends on your application and how much. Make sure it is GL4.

GL4 is the most important part. Then make sure the weight is correct. Motul makes good fluids.

Motul are excelent products do not hesitate to use it ... 75w /90 gl4 sintetic and you are done.. what model of oil are they offering?

I used Motul for years. It's at least as good as the redline product. Biggest difference... it stinks to high heaven, big time.

I used it for a long time. It's funny you mention the smell Mark, I always loved it. I just haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere convenient, but the Redline is easy to get. I used the Motul oil as well as the gear oil. At the time they had a claim that the oil would never need changed if a top quality filter was used and the filter was changed every 2500 miles. I never got brave enough to really test that out, but the oil always looked pretty good after 3000. The sales rep told me I could go to 5000 with it, but again, I never got brave enough. Excellent quality product though.

I couldn't find any GL4. however, I bought Valvoline Synthetic blend with GL5 80-90, is that OK?

No its not ok... get a gl4 75w90 sintetic.

OK, I have to drain the GL5.

I found GL4( hard as hell) 85-90. Little bit heavier, but that;s all I CAN FIND.

Just get some Redline heavy shockproof gear oil and call it a day. I usually get mine at www. myoilshop .com ([url]www.myoilshop.com[/url]). decent prices and free shipping usually.
