I have a 07 350z Manual Trans w/ 93k miles and have had it filled with mobil 1, I recently have read that it is no good, and has caused notchy shiftings and ground gears.


Sorry for not searching harder, I just didn't find to much about running in high mileage motors.. I want to fill the transmission and rear end with Motul but not sure what oil weight I should use.

I have full bolt ons + Nitrous and I drive hard so just wondering what the best option would be in terms of Weight.

Many thanks!

I cant give you options though just my experience. Blew my tranny on a 05 (CD008) put in NEW CD009 trans and RPS clutch and flywheel and Nissan put whatever is OEM in. from that point I put over 70k miles of pure chit beaten out of it multiple drag/street(jk)/track races and on a daily basis drove it like a previous civic owner would.

Motul only makes one. 90PA for the rear dif and Gear 300 75/90 for the trans.

I've been using motul exclusively for 2 years and have noticed a definite difference

yeah... if it is the mobile1 you got from an auto part store it is most likely GL-5 gear oil. Even though it says meets GL-4 standards, GL-5 contains an additive that eats away at yellow metals (brass, copper, bronze, gold?). You should only put GL4 in Nissan transmissions. GL5 is fine for the diff.

Personally I run Redline MT90 which is top notch stuff. Only second to motul but just as good.

i run the same redline and it was notchy immediately after the change..dunno, just my experience.. didnt like it at all.

So for my "new" cd009 i swapped in, i plan to run only Nissan OEM fluid.. i hear its just the best way to go for our trans in terms of feel and longevity.

all we run here in all our cars is motul fluids... have had no complaints! got it in the motor, tranny, and diff

Gear 300 rocks for the trans! Quiets the trans down A LOT to if you have a LW flywheel .

you guys sell it as a pack of 3. But don't you need little more than 3 bottles?

A litre per bottle. Should be only 3 needed

I only used 3 but It didn't start spilling out. The car was on an incline and I was able to get all 3 bottles in, but when I stuck my pinky in the hole I couldn't feel the fluid..

I dgafed and just figured it was the incline...Im second guessing myself and wondering if maybe I should have bought an extra bottle...

A fourth bottle is needed

Well that sucks bc I bought the pack of 3 and was told that's all I needed. Another delay in my trans swap

Motul comes in Liter bottles, 3 normally fills it up, If you get QT's like redline a 4th is needed to top it off.

My tranny was sticking between 1-2 and 2-3. Replaced the tranny oil with Motul 75W80 and I can personally say it is the best 350z tranny oil available. My tranny is as smooth as silk in any weather

i got 3 bottles of motul and JWT clutch & flywheel! woo hoo~

Awesome, we are in the same boat , having 5 liters of Motul. I'm planning to install JWT clutch&fw next Saturday. I'll put Motul Gear 300 in a diff too and will change bad diff bushings with Whiteline poly kit.

Going into gears are really hard now with the motul.. especially first and second lol.
I should try amsoil next time..
With the JWT clutch and flywheel installation, it's REALLY hard to press in the clutch pedal... I mean REALLy hard lol..scared to press in the pedal But there's like no chattering at idle though

The clutch pedal feel should be stiffer for sure, that's because of higher clamp force of the new JWT pressure plate. Going from 1st to 2nd on my car is already hard, I'm hoping to fix that with Motul, oh well I was hoping .
