Scrubb Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 ok, so Redline. Thats the brand name and does that go for diff oil too? What exact stuff am I looking for and can I get from repco and supercheap? Have any idea of price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrubb Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 I've never heard of BNT, is there one in Hamilton? How expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 http://www.bntnz.co.nz/branches_nth.htm Its imported from america, and its sold in quart bottles. which are about $25 a bottle. I don't know what you'll be putting it in but work out how many quarts you'll need and go from there. http://www.redlineoil.com/products_gear ... tegoryID=7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macabre Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 i had redline in my box and diff, but when i did the clutch before the drags i just used some generic stuff. the difference is massive! gonna drain it this weekend prob and put redline back in.

Scrubb Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 $75 though just for the gearbox! jesus... Way out of my budget till I get a job.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtdvl Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 i've run both motol and total in my car and it was much much better than the mobil, and factory pug stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 For engine run the white castol shit. Can get from warehouse cheap as and its specifically for older engines. IMO the best for older standard type engines in its price range. For diff you want to get Hypoid type oil, guess an expensive brand would help run smoother but meh, just go with something cheap but not the cheapest, same with gbox.

Scrubb Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Yeah, that sounds about what I will probably be most likely to afford, cheap but definitly not the cheapest! I used that 20W40 stuff from warehouse or repco cant remember.. but now I'm using that Shell Helix 15W40 and seems to be okay.. dont know if its a little noisier because tapperts still havent been adjusted properly. I'm gonna be changing the engine oil again very soon so should I get the 15W40 again or the 20W40? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
