QUOTE(sarjantulang @ Apr 2 2012, 07:02 PM) same as usual....the FC is ok.... yup, savvy gearbox only takes in 1 kind of oil. 70w-80 or 75w-80 and it must be less reactive sulfurs found in most GL-5 oils that cause damage. so make sure you get the right oil. Alot of jokers just dump in normal oil after 2 year gearbox condemn then go running around town claiming savvy gearbox stupid and so on.

HAHA Malaysian has a funny mentality, the higher the number, the better must be the stuff. So if it calls for GL4, they put GL5 and the sulfur eats into the soft metal. |

QUOTE(kidmad @ Apr 2 2012, 03:24 PM) Well i poured it in already. Not too sure how sensitive by sensitive you mean. But let's test it out and see. so far i've being using all semi syn oil, first time on fully syn. Hope it would be good. The only problem with the tesco fully synthetic oil is without the API rating. Do share with us the result.   |

QUOTE(ultramaman @ Apr 3 2012, 01:22 PM) i thought its SM rated? only for the semi syn. The fully syn one does not have any rating. Quite dangerous to be honest but looking at the price... heck just pour the damn oil in! hahaha |
