SST Fluid comparison - Results

[Bernz]

Just a bit of an update.

Just changed the SST fluids on the Evo with the Castrol Transmax Dual and ford filter. Assuming I sell off the other half of the 20L drum, total cost is around the $200 mark.

Car felt refreshed, no more sluggish shifts, no more clunks when you re-apply throttle, definitly a lot more responsive. Best $200 spent!

Will keep you guys updated on how the car goes.
I also have another 11L I will sell off for half of what I paid for.
Drained 7L out, I sort of put the 2L in and did a flush out, so used 9L all up.
So assuming you need 7L, you still have 4L of surplus.

Cheers

...I sort of put the 2L in and did a flush out...

Did you 'run' the engine? / box with the 2l in?

Keep us updated on how it behaves too Bernie!

I didn't run the engine, I've read a thread somewhere that you put mineral oil in and start it to do a proper flush. But I didn't opt for that way.
I thought I had the surplus anyways so just put in the 2L and drained it, not that it will do anything? haha

First drive to work in peak hour today:
- no more clunks when you lift off and reapply throttle
- no more SST vibration i've been having
- no more rev hunting i've been having!!
- no more sluggish shifts!!

box def feels a lot more responsive, and shifts like a twin clutch should!
Finally get to drive it like how an evo should be driven.
Would highly recommend people to change their fluids if they are due!!

No more rev hunt? Do you have S-Sport flashed, man?

[Bernz]

I have the evox, and have started developing this rev hunt after I put on the catback. It then turned into some vibrations under acceleration up hill.

Very satisfied to the way it drives and shifts, smooth and fast.
