well, a heads up. the Castrol universal semi synth stuff is amazing.
I had some old Castrol syntrax in wich had worked previous but it was old and it was notchy 1st to 2nd, 3rd to 2nd.
Tried some fresh comma 75w90 semi and it was worse. Crunching up and down.
Put some fresh Castrol universal in and the box is now amazing again even at max rpm.
