2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Castrol Syntrans 75W-85 GL-4

[NScott]

I've been running searches and looking at everbody's OPINION on the oil war's, especially the oils used in the NV4500. I did buy some synthetic from my local GM dealer for around $15 once but decided it was TOO EXPENSIVE when it came time to install my Fastcoolers. So I started looking/searching any and all places I could get an oil that will meet our specs(fully synthetic;GL-4;75W-85). I called a Castrol industrial dealer about the product called SYNTORQ and he said he would search his product line and call back. Well he did and he said he found the product but under a different name; SYNTRANS! I asked him about it and he said he could get it for me in 6 gallon pails. The cost will break down to around $6. 50 to $7. 00 per QUART He is going to order it for me as it is a non-stocked item, it has to come from Germany. He said it has been ordered before for Mercedes dealers. I think this is SYNTORQ under a different name and PRICE

These Castrol® marketing names amuse me. Synd, Trans, Torq ...



Just make sure they don't get you Transynd. That's a synthetic auto transmission fluid custom formulated for Allison World transmissions. The price is about the same, too.

I may try Transynd in my automatic on the next change.

I just said heck with it and bought me some Amsoil Series 2000 75W-90. Shifts smooth and runs fine. Its affordable, available and works for me.
