Gear Oil for manual Neo

[crazykatak]

it is recommended to use normal transmission fluid..rather than those racing ones. yes, no doubt, those racing ones provide a smoother feel. bear in mind, racing ones are made for racing; high temperature, high stress which requires special protection from the racing transmission fluid.
a scheduled replacement of transmission would help to maintain smooth shifting and prevent premature wear.

yeah agree... u need to make sure that what is ur application. If u are those drag till rpm very high then a good quality gb oil is needed else dun waste ur money. btw i am using lucas syn SAE140. After the change my gb is smoother plus my clutch = awesome holding effect. hehe....

from my observation,
when the normal gear oil was used for track racing ( even at night ), oil vapor escapes the gearbox..till it drips on the floor.
then during daytime, the oil escapes the gearbox even more.

it did not happen when racing gear oil was used. a physical proof that good oil really works :D duhh

hehe yup. good racing gb oils are meant to be super tolerant to high temp in order to ensure that the gears and working even after trashing a few rounds on track. Normal oils with lower sae will lead to like u mention...

I've been using Toyota gear oil for my 1.6 campro, it totally rocks as I can feel that changing gear is more easier & smoother

okay even though my shifting is smoother than last time, but it still cannot match other cars shifting.. :(

well, idk whether its certain neo or all neo is like this, kinda hard shifting gears compared to other cars :hmmmm:
