Manual Gear Box Oil
I've got a 2010 VRX Manual, Looking at doing an oil change. Thought I might grab some synthetic. Just wondering what other people are using??

put in Amsoil 75-90w API GL-4 Manual Transmission Lube, about $28-$32 per bottle, get yourself 7 bottles, 3-3.5 to properly flush the old oil (fill drive and drain and refull) out and have a clean inside, then refill with about 3-3.5bottles,t, and get 2 new crush washers and 1 fill pump bottle....U will feel the difference in shifting, it will be silky smooth shifts,
The oil should only be filled to the point where it comes out the oil fill plug on the transmition. Believe the trans on the vrx is the same as the 4b11's so it holds 2.5l.
Im using Penrite Progear 75-85, it is a fully synthetic and is miles better than the stock mineral oil used in the gear box, not as clunky and shifts through the gears a lot easier when cold. Also fixed the 1st to reverse gear issue that happens every so often

Re: Manual Gear Box Oil
Hi there,
I'm driving a Mitsubishi Lancer CJ 2010 with manual transmission. It's second and third gears were hard to shift, sometimes just couldn't shift to third so had to slow down and shift to second or even first sometimes.
I saw this post that simply changing the transmission oil has solved so many problems for some people. Therefore, I changed the transmission oil and used Castrol 75-85.
It solved my problem for around two weeks, I was very happy suddenly it started again!
Now second to third gear shift is smooth but fourth to third is very hard, most of the times I can't shift, so I have to slow down to shift to second.
Could you please share your experiences to help me?
I will be grateful to you!
Thanks to all!!
