Do not put 75w90 gear oil in a V160!!!!

 

Why not? You are the first who saiy that :D

I don't think the V160/1 are that "SPECIAL" Gearbox who only run with the "Million Money Toyota Fluid"

 

A friend use 75w90 aswell with no problems since 2years :)

After Hours of reading different threads I decieded on royal purple syncromax. Seems to work fine.

 

If you are able to get the RP then use this. There are many people out there who use Castrol Transmax Z without Problems for years.

I know a few who use this in 700hp+ Supras

 

cheers

The v160 uses an ATF fluid, 75w90 gear oil is too thick

indeed, dont put this thick oil in a v160 gearbox, the v160 use an atf oil, if you cant find the v160 fluid "regular atf dextron III should be the same" and dont wanna use dextron atf oil then use the oil bmw recomend for the getrag in some m3 gearbox the m3 gearbox with a yellow label, that gearbox is identical with v160 gearbox and it is in the same family and also use a atf oil, this is the best oil "and same as v160 oil" but under the bmw name.

Ok guys ure right. I will Chance to atf of Castro transmax.

But what should happen if i use "thick" oil like 75w-90?

 

I drive this a few km without any issues.

 

I would not recommend the Castrol Transmax oil. I used it last time I changed my gear oil, the box didnt feel so good under hard pulls with fast shifts with that oil.

I would go with the Toyota fluid or RP.

Well I'll try it.

I'm not the "fast shifter" and don't drive the quarter mile or anything else.

Maybe the Transmax will do a good job or not. If not, it's Toyota's time:)
