Any Idea of the best gear box oil to use for a DC5???

I've heard about Redline MT90

of course there is Honda MTF

and I've heard good things about Amsoil

Just do not use motor oil, someone on CRSX used it with disasterous consequences

I think syncromesh is for the tranny. It's good stuff, however it might be for the diffy.

I have always used Lucas trans adative and Honda MTF and never had a issue on my street car and my drag car. Smoth shifts and helps coat the gears.

my friend used royal purple max gear on his dc2 and has had no problems. It made it much smoother. i hear red line is one of the best also.
