Typically it delivers in 2-3 days.
Man that was fast!! I got it in like a business days that’s awesome. Question, so do I just put the white pump into and just pump the whole 2.8 quarts into the tranny? Till the pump doesn’t pump anymore right

No. You will use most of it, but not all. There should be very explicit instructions included with the kit. It includes a large zip tie with a bend in it to check the fluid as it nears the top. If it is overfilled it will puke some fluid out the vent valve on the top left of the transmission.

This Hybrid fluid is probably the best kept secret sauce. It meets Ford spec. WSS-M2C-200-D2 and beats Pentosin FFL-4 on the track.

Yeah its in my MT-82 and I like it.
This is what I'm going with. I've used this product before in a different application and was very happy with it.
Bought 12 ltrs to get it cheaper. Stuff is expensive.

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.
Do you have a copy of the instruction on how to refil the tranny oil. I seem to have thrown mine away

I've been a BG SS II user for a long time on many gearbox fluid swaps, No knocking BG SS II from me !!!
When Getrag / Ford spec. a modern DCTF oil, I listen.
Motul Multi DCTF is a hybrid group V blend, currently there's nothing else like it.
Red Line DCTF has positive feedback but its CSt's are on the high side for cold climate users and doesn't have Ford spec. WSS-M2C-200-D2 listed.
Does it feel as good as the BGSSII?

Well after some miles in the new oil I can report some on it. Honestly I didn’t feel a difference, company was fast to ship! I loved that, I just hope that even though I didn’t feel any difference it’s protecting my transmission better than the original oil in there. That’s all I hope but probably won’t really now.

You went with the BGSSII right? I'm thinking of going with the Motul DCTF for mine.

PM’ed you.
The short answer is I went straight from OEM fill to Motul Multi DCTF.
Yes, there is a noticeable initial improvement, honestly the shifting has continued to improve with a few weeks worth of daily use.
It’s a Euro oil so you all know their Synthetic classifications are held to higher standards than North American API .

I Am looking to also go BG SS2. I saw a video on YouTube that says to contact Optimum Perfomance for a discount code for M6G members.
