im changing the oil in my vl mx7 and reading on here u use vmx80 oil (manual transmission and also dx111 or dx 11 (auto trans) and oil stabiliser 50 % vmx80 / 35% dexron / 15% lucas oil stabiliser who else uses this formula?? or what do u use

Just use royal purple oil mate, stuff making a ****tail of oils because some genius in a garden shed said thats what his cousins mates brother uses. Stick with whats designed and made in a laboratory, tested and proven.

with or without the stabiliser? have u used it?

I use royal purple in mine, its the best out there.

its not a ferrari bro. Ive always used Nulon 80SAE and my box is fine.

Whats it not being a Ferrari got to do with anything?? If you want the box to last with decent horspower, you have to use the right oil, you wouldnt put cheap oil in a 1000 h/p engine would you??

Chaser do u use 100percent oil or add this stabilizer in to mate?

just straight oil mate. Ive also found syntrans to be very good too

i use castrol vmx80 and my mf5 is still going after alot of clutch pops and dumps, and still makes 0 noise too. without any stabilizers and junk

redline oil

Yeah ive heard redline is **** too, Jason what is the royal purple you use? http://www.royalpurple.com/product-c...ive/#!max-gear (http://www.royalpurple.com/product-categories/automotive/#!max-gear) This it?

Yeah pretty sure its the max gear stuff, I started using it as I was lucky enough to pick up royal purple sponsorship, but if it doesnt come through again this year ill still be buying the stuff. Engine was pulled down having only used royal purple and there was nothing wrong at all, stuff all wear on the bearings or anything. Gear box is still going so I cant complain, its done a fair bit of work now.

Yeah ive heard it was the goods, also heard that gulf western is supposed to be pretty good too, ive just got a standard setup atm so mine sees valvoline engine armour 10-40w. Im about to put an R33 box in so i'll give that max gear stuff a look

im running redline light weight shock proof in my r33 box as i have in all my other vl gearboxes with out any issues
