As the title says, would like to know how the Amsoil MTG 75W-90 compares to the standard Mitsubishi Dyaqueen 75W-90 oil for an Evo 8 6sp transmission?
Is the Amsoil truly 100% group 4 base stock synthetic or group 3 or group 3 & 4 synthetic?
The Evo transmissions are known for their notchy feel and the synchros can wear easily making the problem worse. High rpm shifting can also be a challenge with the wrong oil. Certain oils make them almost undriveable. I am looking for an oil that will give me smooth shifts and the best wear protection.
I would appreciate some feedback from Evo owners if there are any here.
I am also about to use the Amsoil SVT 75W-110 oil for the rear diff and transfer case, as with a cSt of 20.4 at 100*C it is just above the middle of the SAE90 range (which the Evo 8 requires). I am hoping it will provide some added protection over the standard oil, but be suitable for the street and daily use, as I'd like to minimize wear but don't want to have to baby the diff day to day due to high viscosity oils. Any opinions regarding the SVT 75W-110 for that application?
