Re: changing fluids (Chaos the Xile)
no it will most likely leak out of the over flow tube. drain a quart, then add.Chaos the Xile wrote:alright, and can i add like a quart of that shockproof on top of the 4 quarts?

Re: (Shocker)
yhea but i thought you don't want to mix oils because. diffrent weight's dont really mix. dosen't the lighter oil always end-up on top.
Re: (madcowvert)
dont think so, When I drained my transmission after it had sat for about 2 months not moving. My mixed transmission fluid came out purple. Not red and blue which were the original colors. If it was going to seperate.. it would have during that time.madcowvert wrote:yhea but i thought you don't want to mix oils because. diffrent weight's dont really mix. dosen't the lighter oil always end-up on top.

Re: (Shocker)
The MT-90 and Shockproof are designed to be mixed if they have to. I talked to my buddy at a local shop who runs a D1 Drift car, he siad that you can mix them, do like shocker said drain a qt or leave it one qt shy and add the shockproof, stuff is suppose to work WONDERS!Shocker wrote:
