Triple oil change done today...engine, 6-speed trans and the rear diff. I'm finishing my switch over to all Motul oils...

Engine oil was Motul X-cess 8100 Gen2 5w40, and after 4K of E85 and 20 dragstrip runs it's going for a Blackstone+TBN. My ECS magnet plug had very little dust collected this time. I was concerned after I had an injector failure and the magnet showed a large crown of dust with that oil change (done with the injector repair). Metal dust has really decreased, so it's likely I had a little ring wear from the injector failure, but not bearing wear. This fill up was 7L of Motul 8100 again (oil cooler was sucked out too).

The 6-speed oil was Red Line DCTF, which had trouble with my synchros not syncing 1st-into-2nd when drag racing got it really hot (multiple runs). I don't have a magnet there yet but have a Dimple ordered. After 15K miles the trans oil was still golden. I used the last of the old RL bottle as a flush out, then filled the gearbox with 1.4L of Motul High Torque DCTF., and hopefully this Motul performs better at the strip.

Diff had Red Line 75W110 gear oil and my ECS magnet had a BALL of metal dust after 15K miles. I used the old leftover RL as a flush and filled with 1.1L of Motul Gear Comp 75W140. It's smurf blue and thick and we'll see what happens with the magnet next time.

I think I'll do a triple change again next 3-4K depending on what Blackstone says, and keep checking my magnets.
