what do I need for my Nov 93 525 TDS auto box?

[oilman 7]

Hi

 

Is it a 4 or 5 speed auto? If a 5 speed, does it have a green or black tag on the box?

 

Cheers

Tim

[welshpug 1,657]

5 i believe, never looked at the box, where would i see the tag?!

[oilman 7]

Hi

 

Not sure where the sticker will be on the box, or if you will be able to see it after 20 years, but it should be on the gearbox casing somewhere. If you can't find it, this is suitable for both

Hi, what would you recommend for my car

 

2.1 16v XU engine, cams, steel crank, forged pistons and steel rods, throttle bodies, dry sump, oil cooler.

Pretty much 90% track work but it's road legal.

[oilman 7]

Hi

 

Any idea how hot the oil is getting on track?

 

Cheers

 

Tim

[rallyeash 155]

never gets above 90 degree. I have a stack dash so can easily monitor everything

[welshpug 1,657]

whatever you're using now, or what sandy recommends will suffice then, normal 10w40 I'd imagine.

[oilman 7]

Hi

 

Yes, a 10w-40 would be my choice, but a good one as it's on track

The best ones are the Gulf Competition, Motul 300V, Redline and Millers CFS.

Cheers

I run the redline oil in my gearbox as it is :-)

[oilman 7]

Very good stuff.

 

Cheers

Hi

I have a gti6 conversion in my 309. Occasional track use and gets drive pretty hard. Would a fully synthetic be beter than a semi? Also suffers from low oil pressure on tick over but no problems with pressure when driving. Maybe an oil that stays thicker when up to temp? Ta lewis

[oilman 7]

Hi Lewis

 

What oil are you using in the 309 and how long is it in there between changes?

 

Cheers

 

Tim

[lewis205cti 12]

Just more than 1000 miles and new filter too. Not sure on the brand but its part synthetic. Going to put a new spring on the oil pump and check the pick up etc. Would a different oil help possibly?

[oilman 7]

Hi

 

I would use a synthetic 10w-40.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx

The best ones are the Gulf Competition, Motul 300V, Redline and Millers CFS. They will not break down as quickly as a semi-synthetic so the pressure should hold up better.

Cheers

Brilliant thanks tim. Will look into and order ready for when I pull the sump.
