I put Castrol in mine.

ETA - sorry, no I didn't. I put Mobil1 Full synth tranny fluid in.
I used Castrol SAF-XJ in the diff.

Anybody use this http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/mtg.aspx ?

never heard of it, only ever used the recommended spec

Found a few threads over on the VCA site about various oils, it seems some use this and find gear shifting easier! Just wondered if anyone over here uses it? Not sure where you would source it from but I have an American auto parts supplier just down the road so might give them a call to find out how much it is
I plan on changing the fluids every 12 months, so might be worth giving it a go? Tom thinks its OK to use

All fluids ? That's a little OTT.
Without looking in the manual, isn't it 3 years for Gbox and diff ? Which means I'll do mine again next winter. Never had any problems with gearchanges (apart from a very slight stiffness 1st to 2nd on the 1st change from cold). Change of oil made no difference. But it is nice to know everything is clean.

Well i figured on doing a bit more track stuff next year (cash permitting) and figured if your pushing the car hard, a regular change of fluids would be a good thing


Oh and just to add there is nothing wrong with the gear shifting in my car But being as I bought the car second hand I dont know whats in the box at the moment? (apart from gears

Great link Pete Ordered brake fluids too

Just for a heads up Dodge / Chrysler say 'according to the 2000 service manual' as long as the replacement oil meets 75W - 85 (MS-9070) spec, any lubricant is acceptable to use

Now then What about the rear Diff and Diff additive? ANY ideas other than Factory?

Looked on the PH sticky chart is says Stub? SO FOR THE UNEDUCATIED whats that mean? Never heard of a company called Stub?

Oooo...did you get normal or high boiling point brake fluid?? Personally went for Motul RF600 after some VCA research before the last trackday. Got the additive from local Dodge (it's not a lot) and the rest from Opie.

'STUB' is what any writer would attach the necessary detail to (then delete STUB)(no current detail listed > see whichever year manual)

Went with SRF Brake fluid kin deer, but wont have to worry about brake fade Also got some Hardware on the way
