Anyone recommend ROYAL PURPLE in the tranny?

[Joel]

My car is almost due for the 90k service and I was thinking of replacing the transmission and differential fluids. A gear head friend of mine recommended Royal Purple. He was a die-hard Redline advocate until trying this other stuff once made a believer out of him.

Anyone concur?

Also there's three to choose from in their website. I'm thinking the "Max-Gear" is appropriate?

i would suggest to stick with OE MFR recommendation.. i have never heard of going wrong with MFR stuff.

but i have heard lots of dieaster for experiment gone bad.. the consequences can be pretty sad, thinner wallet and wounded pride.

eg. redline atf-d4 in supra 6 spds tranny.. even though redline Fu_king recommneded it, they dont back their sh_t up.

-jjc.

Thanks. The reason for me asking is that my gears are kinda notchy. I don't know if I need the 'synchros' or what. But I was told to try the royal purple which was suppose to make it LESS notchy.

DO NOT USE THIS IN YOUR TRANNY!

I did and toasted my tranny, later were told by the RP engineers that it was never designed for an NSX.

MB helped with the rebuild but it cost me a bunch in parts.

Dali Racing sells Royal Purple motor & tranny oil. You can take that for what it's worth, but I'd do some further inquiring about replacing OEM recommended fluids.

I agree sticking with the Honda MTF.

"Dali Racing sells Royal Purple motor & tranny oil"

HE NO LONGER SELLS THE TRANNY OIL.

Honda MTF it is.

How about for the differential?
(Someone told me that the differential fluid is the same as MTF. Is this right?)

The transmission and differential are in one for the NSX.
