I just received my order of 3 quarts of the stuff today. Will be installing it in my 2000 Saturn 5 speed this weekend and will report back my findings.

Royal Purple's Synchromax is recommended only for GM Synchromesh applications. If your transmission calls for Synchromesh fluid, then RP Synchromax will be a great upgrade. I've heard of people creating custom blends using Synchromesh-compatible fluid, but I don't know anything about that and I personally wouldn't want to risk screwing it up.

You need to call the dealership and ask them. These questions are hard to answer as most automakers these days like to have their own brand of fluids with their own additives so you have to buy it from them. They make their transmissions/power steering pumps/etc so that if the fluid doesn't contain the right stuff, it will break. Also you might try calling Royal Purple and asking them. They'd likely be able to answer your question. I can say this though. Anything Royal Purple makes is going to be far better than anyone else, as long as it meets the manufacturers requirements. There are only two other brands greater than royal purple, AMSoil and Redline. Redline being the best of the best but they're expensive.

If your service specification is GL-5, then this will work. This is an oil normally used in a hypoid gear rear end. It is not recommended for manual transmissions with synchro mesh gears.

Yes, I think so. The full synthetic racing oil will give you more lubrication and protection, especially at extremes. I noticed in my 2011 Kawasaki Concours which was already extremely smooth and quiet, that after I switched to 4T that it seemed to shift even smoother. I would recommend.

I believe it is 75W90 gear oil. I use it in my 2012 FXDC, and it is fantastic stuff. Shifts smoother and quieter. I did a lot of research on fluids before settling on this, and have since switched to redline fluids in all 3 holes...very high quality fluids. Hope this helps.

If your SS is automatic....yes. Manuals have a fitment issue...there is an UNOFFICIAL way to cut and alter around the clutch pedal to remedy the issue.

No because your specific model rsx is a base automatic transmission model. This clutch is for a manual transmission, as my car that i puchased this same clutch for is a 06 acura rsx type-s which has a 6-speed manual transmission which is why this application works for my car.

According to Motul sheet recommendation, for VW 2.0T you can change it every 9K, last time I changed at 8K and oil was still a bit clean. Not a racer, but sometimes drive a bit spirited to remember my young days.

1) check your owner's manual for the recommended lubricant. 2) check the Red Line site to see if their D4 is recommended substitute for item 1. Note: the other reply to your question suggests that Red Line 30704 D6 Automatic Transmission Fluid - 1 Quart might be what u need.

is this the oil for what? whoever asked this question, did not specify what he/she was using it on. the oil is a specific atf fluid used in the asin automatic transmission, Toyota ,lexis, Volvo and other specific cars use this with wonderfull smooth results.

Thete is acutally a tim oil just for power trim. Any walmart or boat dealer carries this. I know for a fact you do not use transmission oil.

I was following the advise of another Harley rider and some information that I found on the internet. I am not a mechanic just trying something different. So far I only have about 200 miles on this oil in my transmission however have noticed a smother shift otherwise no difference. I am running this in the transmission on my 2007 Road King Classic.

From my understanding this brand of full synthetic is great for a slipper clutch. If you are unsure just do come online research but I personal feel my bike is running better since I added this oil.

I would check directly with the Royal Purple folks on that question. One of the key attributes of wheel bearing grease is its ability to withstand high heat levels. I'm not sure general use grease like 01312 contains those additives. You don't want to find out the hard way that it may not. All that being said, I have been using the Royal Purple 01312 on my cars and ATV's and its great stuff. The grease stays put, even on U-joints, and retains its lubrication properties long after regular grease has disappeared. Good stuff.

It's being so long since I bought it....I usually buy detergent oil but one thing to remember is you can't use this oil an an engine with less than 10,000 miles. The rings will not seat. Otherwise, it's good oil and you may have an increase in horsepower too.. Call Royal purple to be sure, don't go buy what people say. It just a simple phone call. ernie

Don't know. I was looking for a straight 20 weight non-detergent oil. The original auto tranny fluid from the 40s and 50s to put into my 1965 garden tractor hydraulic drive.
