Getting the right oil for gearboxes, diffs and transfer boxes can be tricky, so please ask here if there is any information that you need.

 

To help us to give the most accurate advice possible we do need some information about your car. e.g.

Any other information that may be relevant: e.g. approx BHP if modified, any transmission problems

Once the code is added at the checkout you will then receive your extra 10% club discount. However this discount code cannot be used in conjunction with other offer codes, BUT the code can be used in conjunction with any of our offers on this page HERE that do not require offer codes.

 

Any questions please ask here or contact us via email at sales@opiepoils.co.uk

Hi

 

I've never had anything to do with that oil, so can't really comment. As it's a Mobil 0w-40, it should be a decent oil though.

 

Cheers

Hi

 

You need a 75w-90 for the gearbox.

 

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-90-mtfs-manual-transmission-fluid.aspx

 

If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Gulf Competition, Motul Gear 300, Red Line MT90 and Millers TRX are ideal. The Castrol Universal/Universal Plus/Syntrans Multivehicle, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives.

 

Cheers

Hi

 

You need an ATF for the gearbox and due to the gearbox specs I would go for either the Amsoil ATF, Motul Multi ATF, Fuchs ATF4400, Gulf Multi Vehicle ATF, Castrol ATF Multi Vehicle or Millers Millermatic ATF SPIII.

 

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-442-atfs.aspx

 

The best option for the diff is a synthetic 75w-90, like the Silkolene Syn 5, Millers CRX NT LS, Motul Gear 300LS, Red Line 75w-90 GL5 or Gulf Competition LS. A SAE90 or 80w-90 mineral oil such as Motul 90PA, Fuchs Race Gear 90LS or Gulf Gear LS 80w-90 is a good, cheaper alternative.
