Phuviano · 05-28-2019, 02:57 AM

So I've done a bit of research, and Motul 300 seems to be one of the favourite oils to use for the transmission and diff. However, pretty much everyone says its not good on colder days. You get a 2nd gear grind. I've never driven my car in the winter, since i only got it 3 weeks ago. So I've never experienced this 2nd gear grind. Plus my car only has 9,000 km's.

So my question is. Does this 2nd gear grind in the winter happen with the stock fluids? if so, is it a bit better with the Motul 300 or not?

I'm not worried about the warmer months of the year, since I've heard good this about Motul 300 being great in warmer weather.
