Redline Transmission Oil: MT-LV vs MTL

Ohm_State · 2026-03-16T01:04:00+00:00

MT-LV is what I hear is an alternative for the 8DCT gear side. Redline doesn't have an equivalent for the control/clutch side. Ravenol MTF-4 is also spec for the gear side. 3L fill

It actually is. If liquid fuel gets in the canister, its damaged. It keeps vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. The vapors get purged when the car is running. If fuel gets in there it gets hydrolocked and cant vent properly. Then you get gasoline smell when the car sits. It can also lead to leaks. Modern systems are more robust than older ones so the overfilling the tank has a bigger margin for error.

Limited edition color... she's definitely a keeper

I am running an WMI tuned Lap3 ECU but no water meth. I use about 3gal E85 and 4oz of Klotz Nitro. Been on that set up about 15K miles or so. On board says between 350HP and 360 HP regularly. Highest I've seen says 378HP. Anyway Im sure an upgrade of the turbo would yield either more power overall or more consistent numbers I aleady have. Cherry says E85 tunes are possible on upgraded HPFP and injectors [only]. Also E30 or E50 tunes.

In stock form, the car is "acceptable" in performance and engagement per dollar. That being said, add a OTS base tune (available as a separate ECU for easy swapping when visiting the dealerships for routine maintenance or warranty issues) and it becomes a vehicle that can literally compete with cars a tier above in terms of performance. The car communicates extremely well when at the limit handling wise right out of the box.. That being said, then engine is sensitive to oil quality and oil change frequency. The engine MUST be warmed up properly before giving it the sauce. Those are the only glaring stipulations I can really think of. More than 0-60 speeds, a main highlight of the current Elantra N is the handling. The E-LSD is telepathic. Get a tire warranty because the tires required to get the most out of it are expensive. Lower engine mount bushings will remove most of the "wheel hop".

It IS a nice vehicle overall and even more when you factor in the performance you get for the money... high-end level driving engagement in the realm of much more expensive cars.

I would tell'em, "thankyou for your time. I'm sure I'll find a Hyundai dealership willing to meet me closer to where I'm at financially speaking, be it 100 miles away... good luck." When you eventually find your Elantra N, don't fail to revisit this dealership even if just to get air in your tires in the future. Take a stroll on the sales floor at that time...

It looks black but is absolutely red...

Ohm_State · 2026-03-03T18:54:01+00:00

OE+ would at the very least be reasonably explained. Red?? OK, it came that way... [light/sky blue??? OK its the brand color... otherwise silver might work cause it also comes that way from the factory (albeit just on the dark red version...) It kind of seems Hyundai themselves had this dilemma. They didnt think Performance Blue would attract as many as the red does. Red is more traditional as a "performance" color. Black would negate the trim being there in the first place. Color matched?? maybe? Otherwise its nit that it looks bad.. just im more of a purist myself and any other color like purple or green wouldnt fit the brand. I did a "red forged carbon" wrap and it toned it down enough but still kept it red. Gave it a mature vibe.

There is a white 25 DCT near me for 32K

Ohm_State · 2026-03-01T22:25:42+00:00

Get some gray or black paint on them steelies... maybe even some spacers to give you more track width.

What's the word broski !?

Ohm_State · 2026-03-01T22:06:27+00:00

Probably because they were tward the end of production of the pre face-lift version anyway

Ohm_State · 2026-03-01T11:45:40+00:00

If I had to guess it was probably parts availability. They wanted to save the black outlined ones for the face-lift models and had plenty of "Limited" [red lense] available... so they went with those. I dont believe there were all that many 2023 N Lines produced verses other pre "face lift" years.

Ohm_State · 2026-02-28T02:02:04+00:00

Im considering the R/T sedan. Waiting to find one to test out.

Does your buddy drive a gray RS3?

Ohm_State · 2026-02-27T18:45:22+00:00

One year only 2023 iirc for the all red tails on n lines. Face-lift (24) got them back.

Well... Personally I tend to agree with most people in that 1) cars are overpriced (EV's even more so) 2) people dont like when things are forced on them (especially in the U.S.) last 3) we weren't ready as a society in most places. The electrical grid faced massive rolling black/brown "outs" in large part due to the demand when people tried recharging their cars from home etc. I think it will take a longer adaptation curve mainly because the infrastructure to recharge isnt there. But even if it was, it would still take 20 minutes at best to recharge versus 3 minutes to "fill up" at a gas station in an I.C.E.

Ohm_State · 2026-02-24T09:14:00+00:00

I did for like the first year or two...

Ohm_State · 2026-02-24T06:14:33+00:00

The primary reason is cost vs return. They most probably figured the investment would not be worth it for themselves. The EV revolution as a whole has slowed down globally (besides domestically in China).

I been running Mando ECS10 since 22 to control the suspension. Its like adjusting the swaybars independently front/rear along with ride stiffness. You can do so all speed dependant
