I almost went with 30k but with all the reading with 10k and blue hub. Im still upgrading. And it seems 30k would be engaged a lot. Currently pretty much driving it daily. Need to fix some leaks on my gs300I have said it before and I will say it again, if all you ever do is what @LongDuck says to do, you will be in a good spotand if @medtro gives you access to his treasure trove of parts... then you are golden.
That said, I also second the hub mod, even if all you do is the fluid swap. I went all the way up to 30k CST and it works really good.
Hobby Action in Chandler has all the different fluid weights. I'll be there most of the day racing (it's club racing day) if you want come say hi. I'll me running 2,000,000 CST in my RC car center differential

Well free rad cracked on the way in to work today. Shame. But still thankful. So the thick boy 94 style rad is actually cheaper then the thinner 97 style. So since the truck was working well with the older style one. I got a new oem 94 style at work. Still available at the local where house!! Score!
Looking through and noticed this post, where is everyone getting the silicon oil locally? or is everyone just ordering online? I'm working may way through the 50+ page post from years ago, and thus far they've only mentioned 10,000 cst for arizona, but some people in this thread are running significantly higher.
thank you, re-read this post and noticed someone mentioned action hobby in gilbert. Ran down there before closing to grab some oil. Picked up some 20k and 30k.
Amazon: for example: Amazon product ASIN B004J1MTZA
I run 25CST in blue hub clutches, which you can achieve by mixing your two fluids 50/50
2 bottles is more than you need for a blue hub clutch, though
Thanks, I found a few bottles at action hobby in chandler. Picked up a 20k and 30k. From reading through a few more posts I think I'm going to go ahead and try the 30k.
Odd I guess I can't edit posts yet. How is the 25k working for you?
it's working great in a blue hub clutch - but is likely too thick for a black hub clutch (have not tested anything in those beyond 15K thickness)
I won't give any temp numbers, because the combination with specific radiators also plays a role: the TYC radiator in our 80 runs cooler than the Koyo in our LX
