Gearbox Clutch CVs CV joints Gearbox oil

Aiden (beaker) is currently trialing Millers 75/90 as at feb 07

MT90 is the one for the gearbox, check with the importer and he'll look it up in the book. I use it in some of mine, but I'm trying Millers 75/90 instead after it was recommended by a gearbox manufacturer I know, and it's half the price of redline and british rather than yank and comes in proper 5 litres container instead of us quarts.

in the Haynes it says 3.5 litres of SAE 80.

From Redline

Redline have replied to my email. Here is there advice: <<Thank you for contacting Red Line Oil, originally in the Vanagon VW called for either an 80W or a 80W-90 GL4 fluid according to my guide. The MTL is an 70W80, a suitable replacement for the original 80W, the MT-90 is a 75W90 viscosity a suitable replacement for the 80W90. You could use either and I would base my recommendation on the operating conditions and/or transaxle condition. I would recommend the MTL if most operation was at relatively low temperatures and cold shiftability was of prime importance. If it is typically used in higher operating conditions, elevated temperatures and/or there is some noise in the transaxle, I would recommend the MT-90. I hope that helped clear some of the confusion.>>
