Gearbox Oil

[ady2k5]

I went into Halfords yesterday in order to purchase some Gearbox Oil for the Glanza, however after the Supervisor consulted the Assistant Manager I was told that i needed to go to Japanese Car specialist in order to get some gearbox oil for the Glanza.

I thought Halfords would have had something in i can use. I had a look around and they mainly had their own brand and some Castrol. It was sold in 1 litre bottles and price ranged from £7.99 - £10.99.

I've been told that the Glanza takes just over 2 litres when fully replaced.

Can you please advise on where you get your oil from, which one do you use exactly, and how much it costs?

Many thanks

fishy89 got some 75/90 i belive from halfords, so dont really no what the supervisor was on about The oil did not help the 1st to 2nd gear problem, it only made it smoother in all the other gears....The amount was 2 litres. Dont know how much it costs, but i do know the old oil out of the box stinks, and i literally threw up when i smelt it

Non lsd boxes will want 75/90 syn.

3 litres worth, either castrol from halfrauds , or millers etc if you want to hunt some out.its about £10-£12 a litre.

'because i said so

Nah, you should change it after a certain milage but i cant remember what it is..

I'd just rather change it and keep the oil fresh and clean for a small amount of cash.

It never hurts
