Hi,I have just done a clutch in a 1998 vr4 twin turbo galant and can't find any list on what's the best type of oils to use for each section, motor,gearbox,breaks ect,as I've used oil I had in hand I only have 1st,3rd and 5th gear,so the second question is dies the hydraulic clutch system need to be pressurized bleeding?,any info please.

Does not need to be pressured but a vac pump is handy for bleeding the slave cylinder, which maybe your problem they are a bit of a pig to bleed properly
I always used
0w30 in the engine
Mt85 in the gear box or redline cocktail gl4
Transfer box and rear diff millers crx 75-110 gl5
Ayc dextron 3 atf fluid
Decent quality dot 4 for brakes and clutch
Brand depends on your preference really but you can’t go wrong with Fuchs pros s Ester based, millers nanodrive, amsoil,

SAE 20 or SAE 30 single grade oil. It only takes ½ liter and as there is no other requirements beyond the viscosity, any lube will do. If only multigrade available, I'd use that too.

Don't use dexron 3 in an auto box.
It is not the correct stuff.
It has to be spIII compliant ATF.

Are you talking about engine oil as a single grade?

If so that will kill the engine over time.
If you can get the correct oil locally, you will have to import the correct stuff.

If you don't use the correct oils don't complain when you engine gearbox and ayc rear diff fail.
They will.

If you use search feature on the forum there are many threads that give the correct oil to use.

Morning all, sorry for dredging up an old thread.. I've seen plenty of references to AMSoil 0W-30 for the 6A13TT VR4 engines, what is the recommended grade of oil for the naturally aspirated 2.5 V6?

Many online resources seem to suggest 5W-40 or 10W-40..

I believe the manual called for 5w40, the additive pack wasn't listed, but most recommended oils are c3 iirc.
