For manual transmission or differentials?

This is what you want for the AX-15, not that. This is the fluid I use in mine - works amazing.

Thanks

 

I've seen a flyer or two..

heard of amsoil but don't know much about it

 

NOOOOOOOO

GL-5 is not for the brass syncros in the ax-15. It will literally eat them. GL-4 is the only fluid to use in that transmission

I made this mistake too when i first changed my fluid. Thankfully it was only in there a couple weeks. Their website is wrong.

 

It is the Cristal of lubricants.....

 

like those fancy beers you and Pudgy drink??

 

Yes, GL-5 compliant. Synthetic, can be used in GL-4 applications as well. (so it says)

I know better sir. I know about brass and synchros. I am not saying you are wrong, because the oil you point out is just as good. May even be better because it does reference the Chrysler part number replacement.

Just saying, the synths don't eat synchros the same way. AMSOIL is yellow metal safe.

 

Exactly.

 

One other point...SUPPOSEDLY the initial AX-15 does better with GL-3, but the synchro part numbers were superseded in 1997 and do fine with GL-5. I run Yellow Metal safe lubricants anyway to be sure.

 

Synthetic / non-synthetic has nothing to do with it. It's the EP additive (extreme pressure). Anything with sulphur in it will dissolve yellow metals, including brass.

The product you referenced says "...The proprietary AMSOIL additives form an iron-sulfide barrier coating on gear surfaces, providing the ultimate line of defense...". That's a big red flag.

You're free to choose whatever you want, but i recommend whatever you choose specifically says "yellow metal/brass safe". Don't say i didn't warn you...

 

 

lol

 

Any water pump tips? Trying to get it done before school tomorrow. Just going to follow the Haynes Manuel

 

Yes and hurry

 

Oliver usually has a few sets laying around for sale.

Lmao. I wish it was that easy.
