Used that for years. Was £2.75. Went up when oil prices rose. Will it go down? Will it $8%£....

Thanks CovKid I have ordered an 17mm hex socket a new filler plug and drain plug so I think that just about covers it

Help please, Wilco don't stock it near me, GSF have 35% off but they only have Vetec that is GL 4 and Eurocarparts have 50% off online but their stupid site wont let me look as you have to add your details and it comes back with nothing suitable, can I use GL 5?

If you go into Wilco and ask they will order it from their warehouse and get it in for you. Usually arrives within 2/3 working days. You do need to pay up front though.

Aidan would say don't use GL5 I think.

You can get navigate to the oils on the eurocarparts site, by clicking on 'accessories' then 'lubricants & fluids'.
No need to enter your reg.

Just go VW and get the correct stuff it's not expensive and it's the right oil

Agreed. 1st to 2nd gearchange is much slicker, especially in the cold weather, since changing to the genuine VW stuff. It was about £25 for 4 x 1L bottles.

Not as cheap as Wilco but at £18.85 for 5 ltrs delivered it is not bad.

I'm intrigued as to what VW supplied you with, part number would be useful

I can't speak for the other guy but can tell you I used 060 726 A2 which is a GL4 mineral SAE75W90 costing £5.77 + VAT per litre bottle. They also had the same grade in fully synthetic, which was recommended, but it was about 3 times the price.

thanks Mark

Hi guys,

sorry to dig this up but seemed like best place.

I am looking to replace my 4 speed DU gearbox oil. What is the current recommendation? and how many liters will I need?

Thanks

The best oil seems to be down to personal preference, but everyone agrees regular changes are justcas important.
