Friction modifier/fluids and new gears

[mus1994stang]

does it make a difference when installing new gears to use fluids such as Redline opposed to valvoline or others. Ive seen products that say they reduce temps, etc.

is it all just advertisment or does it actual make some differerance?

thanks

It's not like running the best versus the worst will make your car seem 10 times faster or something, but reduced friction is reduced friction, period. Any full synthetic fluid (mobil 1, royal purple, redline, amsoil, etc) will provide outstanding protection, and will last longer than regular conventional fluid normally would.

but is redline and better than vavoline, mobile, and other synthetics?

Your car requires synthetic in the diff, so you just need to choose a brand.

I suggest Motorcraft...

Good luck getting a consensus opinion.

synthetic fluid all the way. heat, friction cause a loss in HP. Heat is our enemy.

just make sure you use a 75-140 synth and the correct modifier. royal purple comes with the modifier
