People need to understand the difference between gl4 and gl5 gear oil. The additives in gl5 doesn't like brass hint hint your synchros. gl5 is normally used in differentials.
That SUPERTECH isn't burned. That's oxidation from the BRASS synchros that it has destroyed. Typical GL5 in a GL4 application. Shame on anyone that advocates GL5 for a synchronized transmission.
So do i it has worked great for me and im so happy people are kind enough to take the time to tell others their experience because many people aren't sure whats is best.
I want to thank you for taking time to watch and comment. The Toyota vehicles that are using gl5 could be because Toyota has did something for those vehicles during manufacturing.
@@stefyyy1994 Actually, I dont like Ravenol. I only like Amsoil or MPT Industries. American synthetic oil is the best. Motul is OK but doesn’t compare to American engineering.
that is Gear lube, the super tech, it is fine for Rear differentials. You need a dedicated gearbox oil. Cannot knock the gear lube unless you did oil analysis after it was in a differential. WOW!
A couple things I have to ask here 1. Is one tranny Manual running 75W90 gear oil and one Auto ? 2. Did you use flush procedure on both vehicles when supertech and redline were installed and run for 50K ? Because only showed redline with pump which if only did drain and fill with supertech ofcourse it will be dirtier vs redline.
Definitely an apples to oranges test as the gear oil you have is not meant for trans, save yourself headaches and just use the GM syncromesh in your manuals once I found that stuff I stopped looking and use it in several trans works best of them all
I use super tech gear oil it’s good oil and the color of it new is brown this is a video bashing super tech off miss leading information on the video that hurts ya creditbilty bad
I used the super tech brand on my 08 Lexus ES 350 since I had it, I put almost 200,000 on it and it still drives great using super tech oil and transmission fluid. Maybe it’s just luck lol 🤷🏾♂️
It’s a automatic and I didn’t use dex 3 but it’s safe to use for that car. I used the Mercon V and it did just as good so no complaints. I did 40,000 and it was still bright pink so it’s fine
I don't get it. All documentation says you don't want a GL 5 . So I bought 2qts of MT90 for my my 98. Vw. Cabrio. 5speed. At zeroF THE trans will not shift until15,+. Minutes of idling,
You never use dino gl5 in transmission that's axles and smells like ass. Now synthetics are different. Brass synchros get ruined by dino gl5. A synthetic should be fine even gl5. You should look for gl4 though
Yes Nate, Valvoline max life, Castrol. Running max life in mine for about 100k miles. Would love to try the redline, but it's not specified for my vehicle.
Always had good luck with Pennzoil. I'm about to try some full syn Valvoline Dex 6 , certified and approved by GM in my 14 Sonic. Im a little nervous about this change as it requires computer temp reader and fluid to be at certain temp to check level and think car has to be at certain height. But I'm thinking of saying screw it and DRAINING IT , MEASURING OUNCES , AND FILLING EXACT SAME AMOUNT. What's you guys thoughts on that, will that be ok ?
@@countryfamilyalways7280 don't sweat it. You need a 135F to take it out. That's on most cars exactly when the cooling fans turn on. If it's just a drain and fill. The problem in mine is that it goes in very slowly. Came up with this pesticide pump and a custom made rubber hose adaptor. Its so simple now. Think I can beat my oil change time.
After a 87 Iroc fell on me, I now use rims & wood or if I need to get it higher I have short chunks or RR ties. In the rust belt, jacking or supporting under the seam is not good either, always go for the frame.
It depends on the car in my opinion. Newer modern cars with very sensitive transmissions must have a very high quality full synthetic high detergent transmission fluid. Older cars can tolerate lower quality economy transmission fluid like the Equack or Supervalue, what ever it's called. On my newer cars I use ultra premium auto trans fluid. On my older cars, I use Supervalue from Walmart and no issues. Lots of the value saver fluids can cause transmission shudder after 5,000 miles. The premium ones won't shudder till 45,000-55,000 miles in my cars. 4R70W. Walmart Supervalue fluids are good. Do not trust the dollar store fluids with some crazy brand thst you've never heard of. They're being sued in stares like New Jersey for selling sub standard fluids that has damaged people's cars.
Yes they are both actually gear oils. GL-4 and GL-5 are gear oils but some times GL-4 is referred to as "Manual Transmission Fluid" and some times GL-5 is referred to as "Differential Fluid" but the bottom line is that they are BOTH gear oil although they are NOT used for the same applications. GL-4 is designed specifically to be used where there are soft, yellow metals involved such as the synchros in a manual transmission since the sulfur content in other types of gear oil (such as GL-5) will dissolve these metals (which will then get suspended in the fluid and darken the fluid) and eventually destroy the synchros (which are made of brass) and that is precisely why you do not put a GL-5 gear oil in manual transmissions that call for GL-4. For what ever reason (perhaps his own stupidity?) Nate put the SuperTech GL-5 in the manual transmission box which calls for a GL-4 and then ran the thing with the incorrect fluid in it which had the exact results that you would expect when you run a GL-5 in a manual transmission that calls for a GL-4, and then he drains they GL-5 from the transmission, shows how it has darkened from being misused (his own stupidity) and then even worse tries to say that the SuperTech GL-5 is poor quality because it darkened from him using it in a manual transmission that is only meant for a GL-4, when in reality, the darkened state of the SuperTech GL-5 is NOT due to poor quality at all, but rather to the soft metals in transmission getting dissolved in to the fluid due to the fact that Nate misused the GL-5 and put it where he shouldn't have. The whole video is an embarrassment and should be deleted.
Dude this is not how you jack up your car... 0:42 see how you've bent the sheet metal? Underbody have points where is thick and where it's not use your head or it may kill you one day.
This is another WHAT NOT TO DO video. Abiously no research was done. No safety was taken during jacking the vehicle. Criticizing a brand unfairly. And please get a tripod and Edit before posting. One hand videos suck. Keep making videos, thanks for ur time making them..
The problem is not with the SuperTech, per se. It's just that you can't use GL-5 great oil in that transmission. Used where GL-5 is called for, I'm sure it's fine.
I think the Super Tech bottle you are using is for rear end axle differentials, not sure if your suppose to use that bottle inside the transmission.
The super tech says GL5. Most manual trans wants GL4.
People need to understand the difference between gl4 and gl5 gear oil. The additives in gl5 doesn't like brass hint hint your synchros. gl5 is normally used in differentials.
completely incorrect!
That is true only if the trany oil gets to boiling point
Gl5 Is not for brass parts
@@stefyyy1994To what, the part where he said GL-5 rated gear oils are mostly for differentials?
That SUPERTECH isn't burned.
That's oxidation from the BRASS synchros that it has destroyed.
Typical GL5 in a GL4 application.
Shame on anyone that advocates GL5 for a synchronized transmission.
I use redline
Agreed, however Toyota advocates both gl4 and 5, shame on them
This is why I use gl4 redline thanks for sharing I really mean that.
So do i it has worked great for me and im so happy people are kind enough to take the time to tell others their experience because many people aren't sure whats is best.
I want to thank you for taking time to watch and comment. The Toyota vehicles that are using gl5 could be because Toyota has did something for those vehicles during manufacturing.
The GL5 oil doesn’t belong in a transmission. It belongs in differentials.
no! GL5 can be used in transmission no problem
@@stefyyy1994 GL4 for manual transmission and GL5 for differentials.
@@BW-kv9wj Go to german oil producer Ravenol, you will see many transimission fluid formulations with GL5 and dual rated GL4/GL5

Wait did you put gear oil in your transmission then try and blame the brand of oil for messing up your transmission?
No it’s in his differential the fluid is brown when it is new this dude is a fraud bashing a oil that is brown new he is a idiot
I used redline 75w80 in my 1997 Accord for years, have not had an issue but the Accord manual can use 5w30 motor oil also
Nissan calls for redline 75w90 gl4 and never had any problems all 190k miles and still going

Just use the manufactures recommended fluid. GL4 OR GL5.
your not suppose to use gear lube on honda transmissions...
From experience what transmission fluid is best?
I particularly like Valvoline Maxlife Full Synthetic ATF for my GM cars. My Accord Requires Honda OEM DW-1 ATF formula which also works pretty well.
Yes Nate,

Don't crawl under a car in those circumstances. I would use extra safety backups like car wheels.
Nate used double supports and yes take a wheel off and with the small tires on that vehicle your crushed.
@@joshandrews9973 I would never crawl beneath a car that's on soft ground.
Absolutely always use backup safety procedures.

In the rust belt, jacking or supporting under the seam is not good either, always go for the frame.
Bro 75-90w is for the differential LMAO
Lmao the clowns right? 🤡 😂
I go to walmart and put quality name brand oil filters inside the Super Tech box and pay $2 for a $15 filter 🤣🤣🤣

Are you showing automatic or manual
Obviously a manual
Supertech the best
The best price on a budget you mean
Best at being cheap
Interention that you say that super tech is bad when is make by castrol ....hummmmmm
My take away is it depends on the transmission. Use the right fluid.
I've used royal P max ATF in a civic with no issues then Redline C+ in the Chrysler.
Castrol dosent usually test well compared other oils
Nothing about this video makes any sense! GL5 gear lube in a transmission??? I think Not!!!

GL5 supersede GL4. That shouldn't be the cause
