Kenbob Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Haven't seen any talk of synthetic used in the peugot tranny. My new ride has 189000 and the peugeot tranny. It doesn't appear to have had hard use and I don't intend to give it any. Tranny works fine except going into second it wants to grind a little when cold (below freezing). Any issues with using synthetic in these beasts?
ParadiseMJ Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Any (including synthetic) 75/90 gear oil should be fine for light duty. I use Pennzoil Syncromesh (not synthetic) in my Peugot. If you haven't changed out your box fluid, do it. Mine shifts 200% better than when it was full of the C-R-A-P that was in there. WAAAAY too long on the change interval. Looked like the PO had never changed it.
whowey Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 No problems with using synthetic in a Pukey... You will notice easier shifting in the cold weather with a synthetic over a dino. A Pukey does not have yellow metal synchros so that is a non-concern.
