overspent · 2nd July 2011, 08:28 PM

Now that V160 transmission oil and Dexron D21065 are no longer readily available what is the deemed by you guys to be the best easily obtainable alternative ?

Is it definitely no longer available? Have you checked US dealers?

I've been using Royal Purple Synchromax for quite a few years with no issues.

No longer listed as available from Toyota Reading, where is it possible to obtain the RP Synchromax?

Chris Wilson recommends Motul Gear 300 ? Not listed by Opie for the Supra but is listed as an upgrade for the R34 Getrag 6-speed. They only list ATF for Supra.

Need to get something sorted asap as notching up some miles next weekend.

I originally got mine from the US, but a year or so ago when I did my clutch I got a top up bottle from these guys: http://www.iridiumengineering.co.uk/synchromax.htm
