2008 Camry manual transmission fluid

[orlzx6r]

I've been lurnking on here for a while (first post) and find the site extremely usefull. One thing I couldn't find is manual transmission fluid recomendations.

The owners manual states to use 75W-90 GL-4 or GL-5 fluid. I know GL-5 can be corrosive to some brass parts.

I do drive the car hard every one in a while but mainly easy, any recomendations or experiences with a particular gear lube?

Thanks.

Here's a past thread that may offer some insight. Some people use a 50-50 mix of of MTL and MT90 for GL-4 gear oil.

I finally decided to go with Amsoil 75W-90 MTG. This has all the right specs for the Camry's transmission.

Anybody have experience with this product? I've used Amsoil motor oil on my old bike with good results, here's hoping!

Why would you change it so soon? Mine is over 35,000 and is fine - I normally change manual tranny fluid at 60,000.

I purchaced the car used and while the car is in great shape I don't trust people to do the maint. on their cars. I'm in the process of changing out all the fluid for peace of mind knowing I'm running the best/correct fluids in the car.

Maybe not anal, but it's definitely a good idea to get the initial wear metals out of the transmission. Sure there's a magnet, but it won't catch everything.

Your response is not called for. I'm sure most people visit the board to learn, not read rubbish like this.
