I've always been a fan of Motul fluids and have never had any complaints. I hear stuff of Motul causing issues with the Brembo brakes but I have got nothing but good results.

I'd be willling to do it, sounds good... let's talk chief why not

you can switch but it takes a while to clear out the oil in the slush box. Juance I was using redline (Heavy teh red stuff), then went to regular, went through about a case to clear out my shiet.
Don't blame me if your tranny blows

so i can do it but its not a good idea then?
Is it bad to go from Mobile 1 synthetic to Red Line syntehtic? BTW Life, can I pick up my rear brakes from you? Those ****'s at Discount Tire Center were complaining about how low my rear brakes are again.
