I put Shockproof in the 09 SEUC at 1000 miles.

Changed it today.

I use a 24" X 24" pan with a drain for oil and transmission changes.

I poured a quarter size drop of the new stuff in a corner of the pan to compare new with old.

Amazing, other than the "frothy" like Duane said above, it looked the same.

After 10K miles it looked the same.

Good stuff in my book!

       


But Sean is right, it does stink, but it's a smell I can handle once every 10K miles.

It should though.  We do so baby the fluids on these things.  The same gear oil we'd put in a transmission or differential of a heavy car or truck and forget about for 100,000 miles we change every 5,000 to 10,000 on the bikes.  Primary fluid really has little to do but carry away heat.  And it gets changed as regularly. 

Of course the somewhat premature changes don't hurt anything (except for wallets and the occasional cross threaded drain plug).  But we're more than a bit anal with this stuff.

Yep.  Both Bel-Ray lubes are stinky as well, so as long as I deal with this task on an empty stomach, I'm good to go.  Noticed too that transmission used oil never looks any different than the new stuff going in.  Isn't so with the primary.....probably due to "the shoe," but for the most part, it is still red.

Have also noted oil in both diffs, transfer case, and ATF in the xmsn of the ton truck look great after 30K miles.......even after stream fording.

You using syns in the 1 ton too?

I just got a full complement of sysn for the pseudo 1 ton.

I'd say its more the clutch...  Just had my primary off to put the Hayden M6 in - there was clutch "stuff" in the low points in the primary

I think MOPAR fluids are synthetic, but not sure.  I just drive and maintain that thing............have enough to keep my true OCD in cheque with two bikes............hehehehe.....and I want another "older" one.

Don't know about mopar, but at the cost of syns I would wonder.

My duramax just broke 50k, so I started doing some "stuff" to it.

When I put the trans kit in (later this week I hope) it will be syn. The rear axle got 8 quarts of syn with the new cover and the engine will get it with the next oil change.
