Gearbox oil
Looked at the wiki but still a little unsure of what gearbox oil to use, the t25 is a 1.9dg 4 speed with 40k miles, any recommendations?

Re: Gearbox oil
Comma SX75-90 GL4 semi synthetic in mine, 4 litres or to the fill plug level in a 5 speed
Make sure the fill plug will come out BEFORE undoing the draing bung

Re: Gearbox oil
Went to my LMF and got 4ltr of Comma SX75W-90 GL4 as mentioned above, what volume does the 4 speed box require.

Re: Gearbox oil
