which gear oil instead of Shell 75W90 ?

Can't you get someone on ebay to ship it? I bought Redline 75W90 off ebay the other day and noticed there were quite a few people selling it.

If you change the gear oil frequently enough, I suspect just about any half way decent 75W90 oil will be fine.

You can get it shipped... if you really can't find anyone, ship it to me and I will ship it to you.

 

if you can't get redline how about royal purple? a good speed shop can special order it for you.i felt the difference with rp in the gearbox,very smooth shifting. if not,ebay will ship it to you

 

Valvoline 75W-90 fully synthetic GL5 works great in my 575M and will in your 360, as well. Brian Crall (Rifledriver) says to change it every year

I switched to the redline. Used the one w/o slip agent, then added two bottles of friction modifier. Car shifts better than w/ the shell. My mechanic also recomended the royal purple; but I don't remember which formula.

 

Hi Petr, I am also looking to buy the same RedLine oil for my car. I have tracked down a supplier of RedLine products in the UK but they don't ship outside of the UK . Let me know what you require and I can ship it to you. Here is a link to their website although it doesn't actually list the 75W90 oil, only the auto transmission stuff!

 

Royal Purple GearMax 75W90...all of my cars seem to shift much better with RP in the case.

 

Let me know how you get on changing the oil Petr, it's something I have considered having a go at myself.

 

I will send you the link to a thread as soon as I find it. I did a change as did several others here. Not too hard but for gear oil you will need to pull the bumper to clean the screens.

 

Thanks John. I've just had an email from Greg Calo with a pdf of the procedure, it's attached below if it can help others out too. Thanks again Greg .

On my 360 Modena we are wondering on the 75W90 where my friend is using Shell Spiras S5 ate 75-90 Shell product # 5500 26 915 in his modena and I was going to order
Shell Spirax S6 AXRME75-90 Shell product # 5500 27 931 . Does anyone know the difference which we need the S5 or S6?
Thank you in advance.

 

Just look at the recent thread .... all you need is there. Answer is Ravenol VSG 75w-90. It is very good, I can testify it changed the shifts to better...

 

It would be best to use an oil with both GL4 and GL5 specs 75w/90. Porsche used such an oil in some of their manual shift cars Mobilube PTX 75w/90. This should be available through Porsche service outlets.

 

The Ravelol VSG 75w/90 also meets those specs.

 

I use Vavoline 75/90 synthetic Works great. Took all the chatter out of the gearbox. GL

 

I found Shell Spirax AXRME 75w-90 GL-5 at Keller-Heartt but you have to order 12 quarts. We split the order with another owner.
