I use Castrol Syntrax Universal 75w-90 semi-synthetic, my gearbox was notchy before I replaced the oil, now its sweat as a nut.

Thanks for the advice, i have placed an order for 5 litres of Silkolene pro s 10w-50 engine oil and 5 litres of Castrol Syntrax semi synth transmission fluid.

Any recommendations for a non DCCD rear diff oil for my 2004 STI?

Thanks
