Amzoil compressor oil in transmission?

What do you guys think or have any of you tried using the amzoil a/c compressor oil for trans fluid. If so How did it do?

Never did that, but we did use aviation oil in our manual trans back in the day. This was before synthetics came to the forefront. Worked good, less drag. Never heard of the compressor oil deal. I'd guess it's similar viscosity to atf. Is there a big price difference between it and Amzoil atf?

I know of a top trans and converter company that swears by it, all the heavy hitter cars Mike Duffy works on use it too.

Good stuff, only downside is the cost.

Its also damn near impossible to burn the stuff up as well, also has no friction modifiers.

Cool.
Whats the cost difference? I have a friend who is a dealer for them. Sells to me at cost.. Hes just a normal joe, dosent ship. Anyone close to me that needs some, give a shout.
Al

would this be a race only application or ok for some limited street time?


Ive got the hookup on Amsoil as well.

It will be 75% race and 25% Street. I have allready purchased the oil. I am going to try it if you guys think it will be ok to run. what about running it with the typeF fluid That i can't get out of the converter.?

I had the same question.



Newblet minds think alike. hahaha

Cool, I am glad somone else thinks like me! I gave $105.00 for a case is that a fair price?

dont worry about whats in the converter, it will mix fine.

Ok, Thanks. Hey Jon are you going to BG?

no, thats a long tow for me, cars apart right now getting a dear swap and waiting to get my pos magnafuel pump fixed lol.

That sucks! I just got my engine back together and in the car last night . I don't know how its going to run. I lowered the compression ratio and advanced the cam 2 degrees. Not on purpose!

Jon,
I though MF's were the bomb by everything Ive heard about them? Was it too fucked for just a kit?
Al

lower bearing seized up, I cant find one local or I would fix it myself.


I'll let them take care of it and sell the pump this winter, get me a belt pump and be done with it.

what gear are you putting in it Jon? what comp are you running?

it has a 4.86 in it now and wont quite get threw the 1/4, we have been racing 1/8 mile all year. Have a 1/4 mile race coming up and want some new numbers.............

Putting the 4.33 back in, its what i have had in the car for 10 years until this winter when i put the 86 in.

We'll see if it hurts the 60' numbers or not................

Bearing must be some odd-ball size or somthin.
Myself, I go through Mcmaster-Carr in Chicago since our good ole local Detroit Ball bearing outlet closed up.

Time to go out in the garage and make some Glide tools.
See ya.
Al

Just went by the industrial supply to get some bolts and they found me 2 bearings, now I have spares lol.

Is this stuff supposed to be better than the JD Hy-guard?

A tranny is like a garbage disposal.................it will run on about anything.


I think we put too much into what type this or that, I still have the Schaeffer's all-trans I put in the glide over the winter, I rekon it will be in there for another year or so...or until i decide to upgrade the case or something.

I'm not looking at it from a durability standpoint....
I'm thinking about the repeatability side of things...
I'll be trying one or the other for sure in 2010.

tranny temp gauge is your friend.
