Hello everybody. Long time reader but finally getting my stinger next week. I live in 3rd world country and finding anything genuine is pretty hard.
So I need advices which oil to use, and if are these oils good.
I can find genuine Amsoil and Motul oils. There is also Valvoline but I had bad experience in my last car. There is also Liquimoly but limited availability.


Engine:
Amsoil signature 5W30
MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN GEN2 5W40
AMSOIL SAE 5W-40 MS Synthetic European Motor Oil (with ll-04) --I'm leaning towards this one.

Transmission:
MOTUL ATF VI
AMSOIL Signature Series Fuel-Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid --I'm leaning towards this one because Amsoil has generally better service, not much waiting time etc.

Well, first of all, I'm not 100% sure if my car will have LSD, because I bought it from Korea and specs/trims are really different from what I google. But it has ECS, so my guess is it would have LSD too.

LSD:
MOTUL GEAR 300 LS 75W-90
I can't find if amsoil has lsd oil and I've read that people had bad experience with valvoline.


I'm all ears
 
Anything AMSOIL is gonna be quality as far as Im concerned.
I use castrol edge in my rig because its quality and cost effective, but I change oil every 6K KMs.
I did my first Trans flush at 100K kms and used Valvoline Synthetic Multi vehicle ATF.
I also did a diff oil change at 100K kms and used AMSOIL 75-90W severe gear (it is LSD compatible) if in doubt about LSD use a diff oil with it.
 
No need to fuss over oils. Any name brand synthetic would be fine. I've changed oil myself 100's of times for close to 40 yrs, using just about every brand of oil. Never once had any problem that was oil-related. If you had an issue, more than likely it was something else other than something wrong with the oil.

To find out whether your car has LSD or not, just get under the car and look at the fill port of the rear diff. If it is an LSD, it'll say: "LSD oil only" or something like that, right next to the fill port. I don't have a pic of it, but it should be pretty obvious. There are other labels on the diff that tells which it is, but they are on top of the diff and not as easy to access. You might be able to use your phone to take a pic. I've done two LSD retrofits, and this is what they look like:

I don't see anything marketed for LSD in severe gear product. Although I see they have additive for LSD. Which has this note:
NOTE: AMSOIL synthetic gear lubes do not require this additive. However, not all differentials respond the same and the addition of AMSOIL Slip Lock will eliminate chatter in mechanically sound differentials.

Did you use any additives with ASMOIL severe gear or does it have enough additives itself for stinger?

Thanks for the info, I'll look at it. I hope LSD in Korean is also called LSD lol :)
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
The OEM LSD fluid for Stinger
Got the following image from internet.
But the Amsoil is just as good, if not better.
