So Does dexron II or III smell and feel the similar to V160 when you rub in your fingers. V160 has the feel and smell of gear oil. I dropped some sort of ATF out of mine that had very little smell and didn't feel anything like V160. The gearbox had been whining in 2nd and notchy. V160 transformed it and quietened down 2nd.

I'm Just curious really, Im sure the companies know their stuff.

Guys.

 

Having had discussions with the Fuchs/Silkolene technical bods, this is in fact a Dexron II product (not Dexron III although Dexron III is supposed to be backwardly compatible)

 

The product we would recommend that you use is Fuchs/Silkolene Titan ATF3000 (Dexron II).

Prices in the Members Section of our website are:

 

1L £4.49 & 5L £15.99

 

The Fuchs Titan ATF 4000 is a better quality product although not a DII but a DIII.

In laymans terms does this stuff match the specifications laid out in Chris Wilsons post?

I believe that V160 gear oil is available from your local BMW agent, as a Getrag V160 type is used in the M5 E39 (Getrag 226??) and also 540i and 580i. Its BMW LTF-1.

 

Also the Skyline R34 GTR uses same gear oil.

 

So there should be lots available ;)

1.5L and £23.03 :D

 

Oilman- something for the future for sure? My local Mr T has some in stock though, although he confirmed discontinued. So he's saving me it, sweet.

 

It comes in 1L metal cans...so you can't get 1.5L's....

 

If they give you something that's 1.5L's then be sure to read the label!!!
