What's gonna be the best gearbox oil for my UK manual - with 160k miles on the clock, the old stuff has been in there a long time by the look of it??

Royal Purple Max Gear Oil is the best tried and proven!!! Protects, lubricates and releases BHP!!!! http://www.synerlec.com

Redline MT90 comes highly recommended especially for high mileage applications.

Cheers guys

I just put in mt90 and made my box better.

get 4 bottles.

'Tweeks or did you find anywhere cheaper?

got mine from tweeks.

 

Checked ebay but none on there, worth a shot though.

Redline MT90.

I would recommend the Silkolene Silktran SYN 5 75w-90 as an option.

 

Currently on sale in the Members Section of my website http://www.opieoils.co.uk

Does the job doesnt cost a fortune..

Try some NEO, you can find it at SPL parts.

Thanks guys will have a look around now that I have some ideas...

Motul 300 gear oil 75W90 is good too.

The best quote I could get for Royal Purple was £153 + £15 delivery!

This was for 5 litres of racing 41 engine oil and 6 litres of max gear oil.

 

Ended up going to my local and got 5 litres of Silkolene Pro S 10w/40 for £28, 4 litres of Millers fully synth 75/90 for £32 and 2 litres of Millers motorsport lsd 75/90 for £16

total = £76!

 

I know that Royal Purple has been proved to increase power etc but im pretty sure I'll get a power increase with any new oil over the current 15 year old stuff!

Oh god yes!!! Anything better than 15 year old "brewed in your transmission for a fuller flavour!" is bound to have a possitive effect!!! Dare you to take one good long wiff of it when you drain it out though!!! :hurl:

Yeah, don't think mine has ever been done (not my fault I've only had it 3 months).

 

Was dirty, smelly and the magnet in the drain plug was a bit furry with metal :eek: :eek:

Royal Purple certainly isnt cheap. Im looking at nearly £60 for just my diff oil!! Is it going to be worth it?

Have you got it yet?

I didnt both ordering the royal purple in the end. Ive got too many other things to spend the £3 on my zed so just got some decent oil as the guys kind of hinted above. Maybe when (IF) i ever get everything else sorted on my zed then il invest in some!
