Not really keen to use cheap fluid usually, but I'm trying to diagnose a problem and was thinking of trying this first as it's cheap enough that if it solves the problem I can treat it as a flush before putting some Redline or similar in.

Anybody tried it?

Was hoping for a quick response on this, but have now ordered. Hope it's half decent!

Had no issues with any other TripleQX stuff, it's all made by big manufacturers anyway

clean cheap fluid surely has to be better than quality old stuff

short term i guess it cant do any harm

my 330 thousand mile 406 was run on the cheapest fluids possible for most of its life, its still going strong for the new owner

ive put qx stuff in my jimny diff, still ok, but i dont do many miles in that i guess

Awesome. I'm just trying to figure out how on earth you change the oil in the car now. It's a Blobeye Impreza and I've read a load of stuff about the transmission having its own dipstick! Unfortunately I couldn't find it when I went for a quick look at lunchtime.

The dipstick for the gearbox is at the back of the engine on the drivers side of the intercooler behind the turbo. Its has a metal grey coloured pull on it.

I found it later on, cheers though. I had been looking for a yellow bit on the end like the engine oil dipstick has.
