I know this topic has been covered to death. But what transmission oil do the members use. I have a manual 2007 Vantage. Castrol is for all practical purposes not available at a decent price and Motul is out there if need be. I have used Redline products in the past and was wondering what the group thought.

Red Line MT-LV 70W/75W GL-4
(2014 4.7)

 

As per service bulletin 0236 for Aston Martin, the recommended oil for the transaxle is Castrol BOT 270A.

Fortunately REDLINE MT-LV 70W/75W is BOT270A compliant. It's used for the BOT270A Graziano Transaxle for Aston Martin, Audi & Lamborghini.MT-LV 70W/75W Oil is safe for brass synchros because it doesn’t contain the reactive sulfurs found in most GL-5 oils. Sulfur can eat away at the brass components in your transmission.

MT-LV 70W/75W Oil eliminates notchy shifting, even when cold and its low friction improves power transfer

MT-LV 70W/75W Oil Recommended for GL-1, GL-3 and GL-4 applications as well as where most special synchromesh fluids are specified

Compatible for all these applications:

API GL-4 / GL-3 / GL-1
SAE 70W/75W

I'm going to change my transaxle fluid tomorrow with the RedLine.

Here is the Product Spec sheet.

Got it for about $20 a qt..

Redpants was out of the Castrol

 

I've been a Redline user for a long time in my Sports 2000 race car and other toys. Please give us a review when you have a few miles on the new gear oil.
