What is the recommended/best oil type to use in the Pantera transmission.
I want to change the oil and since synthetics were not readily available 25
years ago, is this the best way to go in a transmission this old.
Thanks, Brian

Hello, synthetic oil Motul, Moblil 1, Valvoline all good,It will help shift smoother, ,you can run the standard 80-90wt as most owner do with no problem.I am installing a 6-speed this weekend in my pantera and I am going to use Motul synthetic.The key is to change you tranny oil on a regular basis to keep an eye on it,like after a long run or after a track

I would change it at least every 10K if you
only drive on weekends,if it's a daily driver 3K to 6K when you do your motor oil, you can't be to safe.

Mr. Butfoy,
Do recommend additional L/S additives with any of the products you listed?
Thanks.

I dont beleave so,with the ZF I have heard alot of talk about this,but like on the diff
not working right,a diff has 2 thrust washers
and 2 laminated disc like a clutch,the diff needs service after time, the disc wear out
and so do the thrust washers,if you stick with a good oil and diff is in good shape you
will be fine...
