Simply explained, this means the oil being used is a multi-viscosity application. The first number you see is the classification of the cold weather viscosity. The smaller the number is on this first number means the oil being used will be less viscous at lower temps. The second number after the “W” is the high temp viscosity, or how the oil is at operating temps. Once again, the higher the number, the thicker the oil would be. Thicker oil is not always better, depending on the age and wear of the engine, thicker viscosity oil can benefit you. On a brand new engine, this could actually hurt you.

Your price point per quart will be around 15 bucks, while the install will vary depending on your car, but let's call it one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, with a little bit more on that topic later in the video. So, T5, T45, 3650, 6060, T56 or MT82, it doesn't matter, the Royal Purple Synchromax we are talking about here today will be for you. Now, the Synchromax is a synthetic transmission fluid which is designed to improve shifting and reduce gear noise through Royal Purple's proprietary Synerlec technology. And this is one of those products where, guys, I really encourage you to check out or read up on some of the 100 plus, 5 star reviews on the site, because, listen, I can sit here and tell you what's in this stuff all day long and why it's so great, but it's always better to hear from different Mustang owners out there who've actually filled their transmission up with this stuff and it gets them real-world feedback. But either way let's get back to the Synchromax here. And aside from the smoother and quieter operation, Royal Purple also states that their additives in this Synchromax will help protect some of the softer metals typically found in manual transmissions, and more specifically, their synchronizers. Also worth noting is that cold weather owners might be drawn to this fluid a little bit better because of the lower operating temperature, which will help eliminate some of that notchiness on some of the colder mornings. Now, the amount of fluid needed will differ from trans to trans, but you're gonna be looking at three to four quarts here depending on your setup, and for that I would recommend to check out your owner's manual at the end of the day as it does differ a bit to bit from transmission. Now, as far as additives are concerned, well, that's another area that will differ from setup to setup.
And I will say, most cars will be fine just using the fluid itself here, but again, check your manual, see if one is needed just to be on the safe side. Now, filling the trans can be done a few different ways, but I will say that using some sort of pump, whether it be vacuum or handheld, will certainly make your life easier compared to just dumping it in using some crazy long funnel. Either way, guys, let's call it one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter here, and about 30 minutes to an hour of your time to get the old fluid drained and the new fluid in place in your transmission. So, wrapping up this short and sweet video, if you're looking for a very popular fluid to fill the manual transmission in your '79 and newer Mustang, then check out a few quarts of the old Synchromax here from Royal Purple, right here at americanmuscle.com.Subscribe to our YouTube Channel If you have a new Mustang or transmission, changing your fluid to Synchromax can keep your transmission working better - both now and later. Protects Internal Components.Ask your question! I can proudly say that every single one of my family members has owned a mustang at one point or another.

Castrol has a multi vehicle that meets ford type F what ever that means. I've also read that Mercon V is ok but not according to my owners manual.Can anyone give me a website where I can find some Mercon XT-2-QDX. I've already loosened the fill and drain plugs (that was a pain!) Anyone know where to find it on a Sunday. I doubt my dealer is open, and I've never seen it at wally world. A link would be HUGELY appreciated.
The Mercon's were developed for ATF's whereas the synchromesh MT's were developed for manual tranny operations. Ford use of the Mercon's in manual tranny's seemed to be more of a cost savings for ease of shifting in cold temp operations, not protection of the tranny. Whimsey But I only have 20K miles on her and need to protect the warranty so I dumped in 3.5 qts of Mercon V this morning (thanks Tom, exactly what I needed) Mercon and MerconV were not interchangeable, but now they are. A type F fluid is different - neither is type F. The type F is good for synchros - it is friction modified to grab better. But I would use Redline MTL. Or a good Synchromesh type fluid. ANY ATF is a weak proposition for a manual trans. I want to change the Please refer to CarGurus Terms of Use. Content will be removed if CarGurus becomes aware that it violates our policies. Ask your Ford dealer. Spread the word. Be the first! Ran fine but started feeling hard again, dumped the Ford tranny oil and refilled it with AMsoil automatic tranny fluid. Haven't had a problem since, also manual said remove the 4 bolts but you have to removed the bell housing because of the hydro clutch. No bleeder port so do your best to drain and refill. No need to bleed when reassemble.Had it done at dealer.I leave work and the transmission won't go into reverse.Hell, my Dodge pick-up I traded for this car did better then this. Going to cost almost half of the blue book value to repair this Mustang!! She was acting funny a year after I purchased the car and two dealerships I took it to told me that they could not find any issues on the test machines. Eight years later the issue gets just a bit worse in shifting and NOW the shop see's a problem. TOO late for warranty work. What crapola. AND don't even get me started on the sorry cloth seats. First and LAST Ford I will ever buy! No problems at all in the first two.My second was destroyed in a wreck and the third one is the problem.
I keep my cars clean waxed and showroom new at all times. Change oil and fluids regularly, but on my '06 there is no dipstick for the transmission. How in the HELL-o are you to check the condition of the transmission oil with out a dipstick. I do not have equipment to lift the car so tell me how am I to know if it needs changing (not by mileage) are its just low and needs topping off. I can not afford to take it into a auto shop just to check the tranny oil once a month.This car was never abused and garage kept. I let Ford know about this issue and have received no reply. Update from Sep 16, 2013: I just wanted to share what Ford's answer was to this transmission issue. They did get back to me in a timely manner and here is the response. Both time and mileage impacts a vehicle as part of the natural aging process. The warranty on Ford Motor Company products provides both time and mileage consideration for warranty covered repairs. The warranty expires when either time or mileage is surpassed, whichever occurs first. I'm truly sorry that we cannot meet your expectations in this instance. Thank you for contacting Ford Motor Company. Recy. Customer Relationship Center. Ford Motor Company We've been building cars in this country for what, 100 years, and we still can't engineer a car as well as some of our foreign competitors. My trans problem is identical to the ten previous complaints, so no need to elaborate further. This failed transmission problem should be a recall issue. Ford should have to pay for their ineptitude. Why should we pay 100% of their asking price to buy the vehicle, when they only deliver a car that will run 50000-70000 miles before a major failure.Now that I haven't got a warranty on it something inside transmission breaks and now I have to have new one. On my ford page when I took it in instead of putting transmission trouble they put something else. Ford should recall this year model transmission!
I loved it new and still love it 7 years later but Ford has made crap transmissions for decades and this is no different. At about 50,000 miles, the trans began to clunk hard into gear driving at slower speeds. I took it into a shop and they said the computer struggles as to what gear it needs to go into at slow speeds. He said when he dropped the pan, very little shavings were seen so that is good. At 84,000 miles, I was driving the freeway at about 65MPH and all of the sudden my tach climbed to 4,500 RPM with not apparent power to the wheels. Classic transmission slip. Then a few miles further it did it again. But was fine for a day or 2 after. Then it did it again and I knew at that time that my transmission is failing. Ford engineers.please figure these issues out and stop letting the Japanese beat the crap out of you.Gear shift jerked when shifting in to reverse to back up.Hesitated to go into drive but not that noticeable. Owners report transmission complete failure from 15,000 miles.My mechanic won't touch these new trannies.Sometimes when I put in reverse the car will not move than a horrible jerk occurs when I shift back into drive. Here recently I noticed it is not shifting in a timely manner around speeds of 20-25mph. I was going to bring to shop, but my extended warranty states 75000. I was told it 9999 thousand miles before that coverage was up. I really hope I do not have to pay out of pocket for this. I have 78000 miles on it and have only had the car three years. It's not even four years old yet and the automatic transmission has failed. It would not move into first gear or reverse and there was no indication that something was wrong with the tranny prior to failure. I took it to a transmission shop with a reliable reputation and while it was there began doing research and asking other people who have done work on transmissions before. It turns out that the 2005 and 2006 Mustangs (and perhaps Explorers) have an engineering defect with a servo piston.
The piston is mounted in the aluminum case and the steel shaft wears the aluminum down over time and it eventually fails, destroying the clutches and band, etc. A hardened brass bushing is then fitting in place of the original bracket area. Once the transmission shop got back with me they confirmed what I had been told. How did Ford miss this. It's not as if this is new technology and why is it they wait so long to (two years) to address such a major issue. We're talking complete failure which totally disables the car and costs the consumer a substantial amount of money to repair on a NEW car that is still being paid for and the fix is a simple brass bushing. I'm furious! I guess since it doesn't kill anyone and they generally don't fall apart until after the warranty expires Ford doesn't care. The brand name is badly tarnished, in my eyes. Tuesday morning when shifting into reverse the car would not move. Barely a warning, no dash signal warning and the transmission is toast. In 2005 my store was located 250 miles from the Dearborn plant where the Engineers would drive the test vehicles 500 miles a day, I have spectacular pictures on many Mustangs in different colors parked in front of my store. I told my husband I was going to buy that new model. I wish the Engineers were around now to explain why a summer driven female only, driven car with 78,000 mile car would have the transmission go out instantly. And by the way the signal on the dash is for low transmission fluid pressure not high. I love my car and am very saddened by this! This is about the 7th Mustang I've had, all of them have run TOO HOT--the heat messes up every system in the car.I have been harder on my Jeep than I have on the mustang. There is no excuse why I smoked this trans with only 6000 miles on it. I thought the tires would be the first to go! Contact us with any comments or concerns. Looking for something lighter.

Any full synthetic ATF would be just fine and would give you great protection against whatever it is that goes on in that big chunk 'o tranny.

With the 3650 you'll need 4 quarts. It won't run out the hole, but according to the manual the tranny needs 3.7 liters to be full. Since a quart is.945 liters I just did the math.

Johnson 5.0 out of 5 stars Just like any vehicle it's all about preventive maintenance. I change the oil (full synthetic) every 7 to 10,000 miles. Transmission fluid (manual) is changed every 20 to 30,000 miles. Current clutch was installed by a Ford shop, not the dealership.
- I'm on the third set of plugs and second full set of plug coils. Original OEM coils started failing at 130,000 miles - Second full set of brake pads (Wagner) only on second set of rotors from OEM originals - Radiator fluid every 50,000. Never believe coolant lasts 100,000 miles - Water pump and hoses last month (replacing the hoses was harder than the water pump) - 17.5 City and 22 Highway with 4:10 gears. You will not get this mileage with the stock 87 octane tune - Alternator and starter are still original, although I have already bought replacements.It won't ever be worth more unless it's legitimately rare.It is a great car. I have driven it through blizzards in Montana, Idaho. Crazy rainstorms in washington, and all the way to Maine on the east coast. Never had a problem. Just routine maintainence. I have done crazy stuff in this car and am surprised my car and i are around to tell the tales. I have a v6 manual. I wouldn't be around if it was a v8 Haha. I did get it when i turned 20 though. I have a hard 85000 mi on it now.I love this car, it makes a very long drive pass quite nicely. The car handles very well and performs well, looks good and can make an old man feel a least a bit younger or remind him of when he was younger. Mine is a 6cyl, auto and is well suited to many different drivers, very young first timers, OLD men or women,The twenty somethings wanting a little sport and fuel efficiency. It isn't the car for a family with infants or bigger kids (teens) the back seat is almost worthless except in have to cases. I recommend the mustang, it has really been a joy to own.What a great car. I have only replaced the tires and done routine oil changes on the car. It has given me no problems at all. I have the 5spd stick which gets me 32mpg on the highway when locked on cruise at 65 mph. It has decent power for a 6 cylinder and the engine is easily accessed for doing your own tune ups and oil changes if you desire.
I replaced the shaker audio headunit so I could get a bluetooth audio system for music and internet streaming.

My first one was a 2005 6-cyl Redfire Metallic coupe, on which I had made a lot of mods. I had wanted a Mustang ever since they first came out. Props to State Farm Ins, though, they were great. My '06, also named The RedHorse has a lot of spirit, too. No tickets or accidents yet!I have already put on 30,000 more!! I get compliments on it everywhere I go and people driving next to me just stare. I think its got to be one of the sexiest cars on the road;)Showing Mustang GT Premium.

The result is that makes 480 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, just like the discontinued Bullitt Mustang. Bolted to the engine is your choice of a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic. The manual is the same gearbox as you'll get in a Shelby GT350. It also features rev-matching for downshifts.
The automatic is the 10-speed you'll find in other Mustang GTs but with an upgraded torque converter and retuned shift timing. The engine gets the GT350 oil cooler, which also adds 50% more oil capacity. The manual transmission gets its own oil cooler from the GT350, and the automatic has two. Even the rear differential gets an oil cooler, this one coming from the Shelby GT500. Magnetic suspension is standard equipment along with stiffer anti-roll bars and front springs, stiffer rear subframe bushings, Mustang Performance Package 2 brake booster and a GT500 rear toe-link. The belly pan of the car is a bit longer than a regular Mustang GT for increased air flow under the car. It also includes a large wing section and airfoils in the brake cooling ducts for additional downforce. The rear diffuser comes straight from the GT500. The Handling Package, which is available only with the manual transmission, adds a large front spoiler, extra spats at the wheel arches and a Gurney flap on the rear spoiler. It has a unique front fascia with empty foglight openings reminiscent of past performance Mustangs. The standard wheels are 19-inch units designed to look like vintage Mach 1 wheels. The Handling package gets a different set that are an inch wider, going from 9.5 inches to 10.5 inches at the front, and from 10 to 11 inches at the rear. Trim pieces are painted in a dark gray, and satin black stripes feature on the hood and sides of the car. They come with red or white reflective accents, or orange on the Appearance Package, which also makes an exclusive dark gray paint available. The inside gets a unique aluminum finish dash, white cueball shifter and badging. Pricing is not yet available.
