There are several threads about our Kits but THIS is the most comprehensive one. It is one of the extremely few fluid on the market that meets the spec for the OEM fluid Ford uses in the MT82.

Ford Development Driver Billy Johnson also has tested it HERE

We have been running it in our shop car for years, it holds up very well to track use. The differential fluid typically breaks down much faster without a cooler.

Pretty cool write up. I seen on there that it is thinner than basically the other oil except the atf, that doesn’t make me feel very confident so let me ask you even though it’s thinner does it protect better than the one or redline oil? I don’t mind the notchiness it’s the protection I want will this protect better than the oem oil?

Thinner? its a 75W-80 grade oil.

You do realize the notchiness is caused by poor shifting which in turn causes wear and damage? Redline does not recommend any of their products for the MT82, Amsoil does not recommend any products for the MT82.

It said in that write up it’s thinner than the other just repeating what they meant I think it was thinner at a certain degree 212 I believe but regardless do u believe this will give me better protection than the original oil? I know a soil doesn’t offer anything I love those guys, didn’t know redline didn’t either I hear a lot of ppl putting the redline in their tranny’s.

Yes it will provide better protection. Your other thread we responded to back in May we posted the Data sheet from BG. It explains why and how the fluid was developed specifically for modern manual transmissions and the additive package BG uses allows for excellent fluid properties while resisting gear shear and thermal degradation.

An opinion:
Just because people use a product does not equate with it being a wise choice. RP and BG are on a VERY Short list of manufacturers that do offer a fluid for the MT82 (and the diff, for that matter) Your primary factor should be: "Does the manufacturer of the fluid that I am considering approve its use for my application?"

so what ur telling me is basically to base on the fact that ford approves it i should trust it? because in that case i can just buy the oem and i.should be good right? but the reason i ask ppl is cuz i want something thats better than oem, do you think this is better.than oem?
