steve-gers Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Been searching for a thread about this but can't find any. What viscosity of gearbox oil should be used in a gt gearbox and also how many litres will I need? Also any recommendations on brands would be good aswell. Thanks in advance.

steve-gers Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 30 quid for 2 litres delivered, not 2 bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) I just went to halfords got stuff for £9 a litre. Would be even cheaper from a local motor factors.Opie oils have just posted on the forum they are doing free delivery to UK mainland aswell if you don't mind waiting.

steve-gers Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Probably both do the job just fine, just like to use expensive oil for piece of mind lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I use castrol transynd in mine. Castrol tes-295. Designed for automatic gearboxes with excellent shock loading and anti foaming properties. Works well with my LSD and no crunches on cold mornings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I didnt even think about it being an automongo. If thats the case youll need ATF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve-gers Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 No, changing it to manual in the next couple of weeks that's why I'm asking which oil is best for manual box now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
