I'm using Extra S seems to work well in all conditions. Cold mornings, hot afternoons. Shift feel seems to stay consistent.

I've tried Redline, smooth when warmed up but a bit stiff and notchy when cold.
Motul, had similar issues as well a bit less tho since I added a little friction modifier to help the syncros.

Well I just placed my order today for 2 5gal drums! so if any one wants some lmk.... it will take 4-6 weeks to come in

shaggadelic 07-11-2012 11:01 AM

i know you do lol

Deraj_53 07-16-2012 06:05 PM

Me!

If this will work well in my 05 STi, I'm in as well! Is this for transmission and/or diffs? How much will I need?

Deraj_53 07-17-2012 12:59 PM

The gear oil is for the transmission front diff included.

I used Subaru LSD oil for the rear diff.

shaggadelic 07-17-2012 07:03 PM

u can still use this in the rear diff.....

Deraj_53 07-17-2012 07:22 PM

Yes you can they are both 90w oils, but the STi's will want to use the LSD oil since it has friction modifiers to help the clutch type diff. The wrx and other models with the viscous rear diff doesn't matter because the LSD units in those are sealed.
