What ever you do -- DO NOT run ATF in a Boggie Woggie or a Munchie ... some ( I think MoPar) used to recommend ATF.

Thank you, Samuel, for taking the time to post your thoughts. Would that be distilled or regular tap water? ...... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img] ........... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Some of the Tremecs use ATF [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: M21 Oil Weight/Brand Recommendation
 

Regular tap water. has a few more minerals in it for lubrication. Alot of trans guys do not like synthetic gear lube in the old cars. Atleast that is what they tell me.

Re: M21 Oil Weight/Brand Recommendation
 

The GL4 is for the Muncies and Borg Warners etc. It has to do with the &quot;yellow metals&quot; in the transmission. The newer transmissions like the Tremec call for the ATF which is a GL5 oil.

I sell a lot of this GL4 AMSOIL to hotrodders locally as well as the Cummins truck guys using the NV4500 transmission. I swapped it into my stuff a few years ago and noticed a big difference. I am a dealer and will be happy to help if anyone needs some shipped or you can just use my referral # 2011844 to knock a few bucks off the price.

I'm running CRC Sta-Lube Hypoid-SAE 85W90 Gear Lube API/GL-4....... which is what my trans guy TOLD me to use. I believe CRASH recommends it also. You can get it a NAPA.

Looks like a lot of us are running the sta-lube/CRC 85W-90 juice. I think it's what Autogear recommends as well. My car is far from a lawn ornament, and it seems to work fine for.. ahem.. &quot;spirited&quot; driving. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

I built my own trans and have been running this stuff since it was put together. Cheap, and available at NAPA and Amazon.

Re: M21 Oil Weight/Brand Recommendation
 

Love to hear &quot;spirited driving.&quot; Thats the stuff to use then.
