Gearbox Oil

Post by Tug »

Hi All,

Just a Quick question. Which Viscosity of Transmission fluid should be used. I know it says 8Ow in the wiki or 75-90w....but which is recomended. I was planning on using Morris semi synthetic as I can get a good deal on this. Can some ne recomend which to use..... :ok

I think the multigrade is better in a WORN GEARBOX as it has a thinner viscosity from starting so less likely to baulk on lazy snyco's which can be an issue from cold.
