I'd use the Motul Gear 300 in the gearbox.

The diff needs a SAE90 LSD oil, like the Fuchs Titan Race Gear 90LS, Shell TS90, Castrol Axle Z or Motul 90PA.

I notice no one mentioned royal purple, and not as many votes for the redline stuff as I expected either?

Oilman why would you recommend the motul over the redline stuff?

With the STi boxes, we've never had anyone report a problem that has used the Gear 300. In fairness, I think there was only one problem each with the Red Line 75w-90NS and Millers CRX (and I think the one with the CRX wasn't being completely honest).

Cheers
