What oil can I use in my NV tranny?
NV simply states 'one that is non foaming'. After putting in Royal Purple 75-85W, I know why they say 'non foaming' - the oil bubbles, volume grows and then it comes out the vent
I then tried RP's Synchromax, that is supposedly specially designed for manual trannies, and it shifts like S??? while cold - even when the ambient is hot. We're talkign to the point that while driving, going from 1 to 2, I'll almost be at a stop when I can finally get it from 1st to 2nd. So I just put the 75-85 back in...
I did notice that the tranny runs ALOT cooler with the RP in it than it did with the DC stuff. Used to be I could burn myself on the doghouse after a long drive. Now it doesn't even get warm to the touch - even when pulling a 3k lb trailer long distances.
The AX's I just used ATF+4 or 5....
