When I first installed the RX7Turbo box in my Starion it was very notchy?? not crunchy and quite stiff so I changed the oil to the recommended grade and no improvement so added Nulon additive went 4 a 100k drive no change ,Spoke to a transmission guru and changed oil to auto oil, same drive no change:mad:.

By trhis time was thinking to pull it out 4 a rebuild and was wandering about in a Nissan site and found that they had similar problems and that REDLINE LIGHTWEIGHT SHOCKPROOF oil made things better .

BTW it is also called SMURF BLOOD due to the blue colour.

In desperation/as a last resort I decided to change the oil again and went 4 my 100k test drive and was :amazed: to find the change improving 5 k after setting out and it continued to improve and the box is still in place 2+ years later.:bigsmile:
