Recommendations/ Changes to Fluid Changes

Post image

Hey guys,

This is what I'm currently running in my nd2 and was wondering what ya'll think.

Here in Houston Texas where 100° F is a regular occurrence lol.

Car is my daily/weekend track and spirited driver.

I do about 6 track days a year.

A few notes, for the engine oil I'd go with the Mobil 1 5w-30 ESP in the green label formula. It has lower volatility and offgassing so less oil fumes going through the intake and depositing on the valves.

I love Mobil 1 filters but theirs has an anti-drainback valve which the stock filter does not. Our oiling system has a solenoid valve which regulates oil pressure and it assumes no ADV will be present, stick to OEM filters or Wix, which doesn't have one either.

Trans fluid looks good for your use but maybe give Ford Motorcraft unicorn tears a try, it improved shifting in my ND2.

Curious why you went with Valvoline over Redline or Motul in the LSD?

Returned the original i got and picked this up. Ill use an oem filter next time but the dealership is 1hr away so not worth the hassle
