caramall2 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Rear Diff: So Motul Gear 300 Gearbox Oil 75W90 works in the rear diff (2005 LGT)? Was confused as to which Motul has friction modifiers and which doesn't (the whole Redline vs Redline NS (for MT/front)) if I have that straight. I use Extra-S in MT/front diff.

Max Capacity Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yes Motu 300 will work in the rear diff. For more info ask Mike at www.AZPinstalls.com He puts it in a lots of cars. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Claw Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 So way back when I bought some ONLY, Amsoil Severegear 75w-90 Oh did you understand, ONLY ? Anything wrong with doing that, front/rear? Seeing as I bought the fluids already.. or should I change it up a bit and put in Extra-S up front? I noticed there's been a lot of fluffy talk since OP 05 LGT 5spd @ 55k miles.. haven't touched the fluid since I bought'er 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Also, do yous anti-seize your drain bolts? My diff drain bolt was pretty much rusted shut.. 3 days worth of penetrating oil still resulted in bloody knuckles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 You will be fine. I hope you learned not to put the plugs in very deep. They don't have to hold pressure, just keep the fluid in. Yes anti-seize should be fine on them. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

eljefe1981 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Does anybody care to tell me what kind of oil I need for an 05 Legacy GT AT other than the dealership oil? Or am I in the wrong place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Ask ClimberD@HEXMODS. PM him. I think the Amsoil stuff will work well.

boostgt2 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 So just to be clear the Motul 300 is the 100% synthetic base for both the front cocktail mix and straight for the rear diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetteman Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 This post: "Synchromesh shears easily, and does allow metal-to-metal contact. You get the impression that you are making the synchros work "better", when you are simply accelerating their wear ultimately ensuring you will need to rebuild the trans" is not exactly correct. An earlier post got it right - you don't use any kind of synchromesh fluid in a transaxle because of the hypoid gears (final drive) will get destroyed. Many "in line" manual transmissions specify some form of synchromesh fluid and it works just fine. In fact the NV folks (Chrysler/GM JV) were very firm that you not use anything other than synchromesh fluid in their 5 speed light truck 'boxes. While 75-90 gear oil is common in heavier truck transmissions, it is not common in cars and light duty trucks (except those with transaxles). Probably the heaviest duty car manual transmission out there is the Tremec T56/6060 family used in Vettes, Vipers et al, and they specify a plain old dino DEX III - which is thin, comes out like water when it's hot, but does the job. Lots of Vettes around with 100k plus on them operating just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostgt2 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Just to make sure I have the right Redline fluid, can someone tell me is the Redline Lightweight shockproof gear oil suppose to be blueish in color??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POWERPRO Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 So, having read most every thread on trans fluid: (3) RL LWSP to (1) Motul 300 (BAC)? or (1) RL LWSP to (3) Motul 300 (Infamous)? or Just get the Fred Beans 60K kit with the Subaru extra-S? Seems like a good deal. or? Coming up on 60K on my 08 LGT. No real problems, but sometimes it takes a couple tries to get into reverse and a slight whine in 5th on colder days.

Max Capacity Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I just searched around the web, seems FB's has the best deal and lowest shipping for Extra-S. That's what you should use unless you have grinding when shifting. I see "unclescotty" is now saying heavyweight in place of the lightweight...over on NASIOC. FWIW, I have Amsoil in my 5mt currently. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Nolmers06LGT Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Definitely sounds like a good candidate for extra-S. If you do go with the mix, I'd think you'd be better off with the (3) Motul to (1) LWSP since you don't have any issues. BAC's mix seems better suited for more troublesome trannys. hehe Long time no see, Max! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigleben Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I've tried the "new extra-S" in my OBXT and it doesn't work well in cold temperature compared to my LGT with BAC's cocktail. I'll see how it goes this summer but I think ill flush the OBXT for something else this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashwinearl Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I experienced the same problem with the 'new' Subaru fluid. I purchased it from Fred Beans and the web site had said "Extra-s" the bottles say "High Performance Gear Oil" I don't like it, esp when cold.

Scooby2.5 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I understand from talking to Fred Beans parts that it is Extra-S in the bottles. They started selling it so people didn't have to purchase the 5 gal drum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They started selling it so people didn't have to purchase the 5 gal drum. Yes, this is what I understand. The Extra-S I bought from them a few years back came in a tall long neck bottle. I used some Extra-S from it last night when I changed my rear diff fluid. It had Motul 300 in it for the last 33,000 miles. Stuff came out pretty clean for that many miles. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
