Title: Gearbox Oil? Post by: beardy bloke on December 15, 2014, 08:04:07 PM I know this has been discussed before and seems to be that non EP oil as suggested in the Haynes manual is what should be used .
I think my gearbox may have sae80/90 oil as this was put in by a local garage as I had a check over service when I got the car . It has not given me any problems so is it best to leave alone or should I change it ?. Title: Re: Gearbox Oil? Post by: POQ 131 on December 15, 2014, 08:59:07 PM Change it.
That oil is too stiff & you will end up ruining the syncro's. Most probably 2 nd gear. Engine oil is the correct weight. O. Title: Re: Gearbox Oil? Post by: Castrol on December 18, 2014, 08:40:16 PM Zc90 tutela is the oil that Factory give in gearbox.....

It seems sensible to follow the factory advice and use non ep oil . Another job to do !.
