I'm not having much luck finding manual tranny oil here in Calgary. What oil are you guys using and where can I get it? NV5600.

If i recall correctly that is a dealer only item or an amsoil equivalent and it's not cheap.

 

I know the dealers but just don't like to go there

Where can you buy Amsoil up here?

Cya

 

you can use any old GL-5 rated oil the the nv5600. its the NV4500 that requires GL-4 rated oil for the synchronizer assembly.

 

Redline MTL from Mopac in my NV5600. ....Joe.

 

Mopac! Thanks Joe. Totally forgot about them.

153624, you're kidding right?

No he's not, i knew it was one or the other that needed it.

 

"Firing Order' is bang on.. The NV4500 is more sensitive to proper fluid grade, the 5600 not so much..

 

i got mine from Par Auto parts in Airdrie. Cost i think 16/L. But still cheaper than the dealer for the last time i changed mine. The dealer was 28/L IIRC.

 

I always just use the Dodge stuff in NV5600s. Part # 4874464. Never experimented with anything else.

 

"Synchromesh" fluid is what you are looking for. Quaker State and Penzoil both sell versions of it.

I picked up some Quaker State today at NAPA for $12/L.

 

Appreciate the feedback. I'll try and find some this week .

FYI I changed mine out yesterday. Drained it thru the bolt PTO cover bolt and then pulled the center console and shifter so I could fill it thru thetop. I put in 6L.

Didn't seem to make a difference. Still shifts like crap and hard to get into 2nd from a stop.

I guess I'll try the upgraded SB hydraulic kit. I'm thinking my stock system may not completly release the SB clutch.

Well I found a few places and no one had the 7L i want. 1L here, 3L there, geez!

Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I don't have any shift problems, just coming up on 160Km and figure its due

Thanks for the feedback.
