    oil for 1990 Toyota corolla all-trac wagon (ae95) transmission/transfer case

    Old manual doesn't specify GL rate. GL4 is good even for hypoid gears under low-mid loads. MT-90 is super GL4 oil. I'd keep MT-90 for now for front transaxle/transfer.

    2019 Subaru Crosstrek 6MT transmission fluid

    For front you need original oil or equivalent spec (75w80 GL5). 75w90 is not recommendable for normal driving or cold temps (poor shifting and fuel efficiency). For rear you can keep actual. When GL5 is specified you should use it because GL5 performance is different to GL4. Anyway GL4 is...

    Making oil with a Peugeot 3008 in Spain (Rental Car Review)

    Yeah in km 135 there is a radar, smallest fine is 100€ (50€ if paid before 20 days for us), seems Hertz add any "management" extra. Anyway if it's all then you are lucky.

    Making oil with a Peugeot 3008 in Spain (Rental Car Review)

    I hope you and family liked Spain! Well about 3008... most of petrol and diesel Peugeot/Citroen have big issues in last 15-20 years, engines repair under 60k miles 5000$, injectors 2000$, adblue deposits 1500$, ESP issues, turbos, oil pumps... terrible.

    75W85 GL4 vs 75W85 GL4/GL5 vs 75w90 GL4

    Tutela Matrix is good price/quality. It's GL4. Red color. It's Petronas, not problem. It's not real full syn like most, but it has little real syn. Ravenol is real syn based (not fully). Ravenol is good and some oils are TOP, not problem. It's GL5 compatible GL4. Red color I think too. If you...

    75W85 GL4 vs 75W85 GL4/GL5 vs 75w90 GL4

    For your location regular 75w85 false syn is good. Redline is super oil, chemical is different (stronger) than Castrol. May be you don't need it. PDS info is relative, sometimes different test and sometimes spec like Castrol viscosity is not real, so little differences are useless.

    75W85 GL4 vs 75W85 GL4/GL5 vs 75w90 GL4

    Best easy option if not expensive the original Hyundia or KIA MTF 75w85 GL4. If you want syn: - Castrol Multivehicle 75w90 and sisters Ford 75w90 BO, Castrol BOT 130M, Volvo 1161723, Motorcraft MT-XT-QS. All works like 75w85 warm and very good cold - Castrol Syntrans 75w85 - Tutela Geartech...

    The 5/40 oils

    Well it's typical LM or Castrol politic. Sometimes medium range products overpriced here too. Other really good products. Yeah about PDS, but really PDS is not super useful even when parameters are exactly writed. Other brands do the same like Repsol here and they have any really good oils with...

    Motul gearbox 80w90

    Shifting performance or compatibility has nothing to do with GL or syncros. API is not shifting/syncros class, it's gears. There are GL4 and GL3 with poor shifting and GL5 with incredible shift cold and warm temps. Motul GL4/GL5 shifted for me really good except when cold, first miles only, it...

    Can oil analysis determine if the previously used gear oil was yellow metal safe?

    Blackstone may be not, but you can do other analysis or laboratory with basic contaminants, additive package and cooper corrosion test. If this oil was even right one for your old gearbox, after 20-30 years could show really bad results and corrosion, but at least you can see interesting info...

    Oil selection for 2024 Audi RS 7

    Right buy, TOP oil. Valvoline in Europe not really, very low or directly zero OEM oil, most OEM oils here are Castrol, Mobil, Petronas, Shell and Total aka base oil producers and some of the few additive producers (Mobil/Shell).
