    I'm doing complete fluid changes on the hole car. I still use the original brand of oil used from factory in the engine Agip Sint2000, What type of oil are people using in there cars now, In Tranny fluid, Engine oil, Brake fluid, and the best coolant. I would like to see any opinions.

    Thanks

    I use Amsoil 10/40 full synth engine oil and Redline 75/90NS in the transmission. No foaming in the oil tank and easy gear selection - I'm happy.

    My car has had Mobil 1 5W-40 and Redline 75W-90 for the last couple year.

    I just bought a case of Redline 5-40 and Redline 75-90 NS as part of the annual fluids change.

    My car has always had Shell Helix Ultra engine oil and Shell 75/90W gearbox oil. :)
    I am just about to change the engine oil to Royal Purple and I now use Redline Shockproof oil in the gearbox. Will also flush the brake fluid out use Redline. :):)

    I use Prestone's 50/50 premix in the coolant (plus a bottle of Redline's Water-Wetter), Valvoline's DOT 4 synthethic brake/clutch fluid, Redline's 5w40 in the motor and Redline's 75w90NS in the tranny.

    I'm very happy with my 348. She runs, drives, and shifts superbly.

    You've probably got my shifts beat with your Superlight Shockproof. 75w90NS is fairly close, though.

    I'm certain that the superlight shockproof shifts better (been there, done that) than the 75w90NS, but I'm not certain if the 75w90NS will attract condensation like the shockproof. Give me a year or so and I'll have the answer, though when I drain my 75w90NS.

    The condensation is one thing that the MTL has all over the shockproof, so now I'll see if the 75w90NS is closer to the MTL or to the shockproof.
