Well blew my n/a diff early this week and am putting an S4 TII in being i already have the rest of the TII stuff from the flywheel back.

I was wondering if anyone has ever used Redline Heavy Shockproof gear lube?

and

is it safe to use Redline Heavy Shockproof gear lube with the S4 diff?

I know i want to use something good because the diff fluid isnt changed that often

 

Well it says on the info PDF it can be used with quote "conventional, limited-slip, or locker differentials."

BTW i want this because my car takes a beating and it might be an advantage to have this stuff

 

someone help me out please? its almost the same price as the regular Redline fluid but is supposed to be better. I just wanna make sure im not spending $35ish on something i cant use.

Help ASAP is appreciated since i need to order this stuff ASAP

 

buy it and use it. im sure alot of peoples cars get worse beatings, and use regular gear oil.

"im on a dolphin, doin flips and ****"

 

well just ordered 2 quarts and they should be here on Thursday when i get ready to throw the diff in. I will keep everyone posted as to how it works for me. My car takes a pretty big beating now that will only get worse when i start taking it to the track


"the dolphin's splashin gettin errybody all wet but this aint seaworld this is real as it gets"


oo yea should i pick up some LSD additive or not? it says the oil is good for LSDs but just wanna make sure.

 

Well got my diff and got my Shockproof gear oil. So far so good and didnt add any LSD additive yet. Dont think i will have to. I will keep this updated as i put some miles on this stuff so that maybe someone can use the information!!!

 

The shockproof is reccomended by a lot of shops that race their cars, and from what I hear is a great fluid that comes with a lsd additive in it.
You'll be fine, I run Amsoil in mine

 

Thats the real thick red **** right? I used to run that in my rear end and tranny, makes things much smoother

 

Sure is. Im gonna pick some more up for my tranny next paycheck because i have cheap shitty stuff in it now because i was in a pinch. I also like how it doesnt stink like gear oil either.

 

I will have to look into throw some of this into my trans(tii trans on n/a) since it is starting to shift like crap(no grinding yet).

 

Why dont you use 75w90 Red line

Shock proof Is kinda heavy.

 

I ran shock-proof in my DSM, good ****. Every DSM/EVO shop swears by it.

 

Its pure additive package. Overly saturated with and tends to have additive fallout and settling. Best when the component is torn down, cleaned, and inspected regularly, like in a real race car. Once an additives falls out of suspension, it'll coat everything that doesn't need protection.

A 90wt is all we need. If you feel that you need more protection, a 110wt or 140wt would be easy upgrades.

 

I honestly can't remember if I have it on the diff, but I know that I am using in on the tranny; no problems so far (its been on the tranny for over 4 years)

The shockproof is blue, kind of like a baby blue type (or at least used to be)

 

Maybe the different weights of shockproof are different colors
