Quick one on gearbox oil.
Hi folks. I have recently purchased my first scoob, a Impreza wrx sti hawk, and I'm over the moon with it. I just wanted to ask if the Silkolene SILKTRAN SYN 5 75W-90 Fully Synthetic Gear Oil can be used in the rear diff aswell as the gearbox. And I believe I will need 6ltr.
Cheers peeps.

Hi
No, you want a 75w-90 for the gearbox and this one is ideal

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

Thicker oils put more strain on everything, so you tend to only use thicker grades when the oil is getting hot enough to thin out. Unless it's a heavily modified track car, it's unlikely to get hot enough to need a thicker oil and using a 75w-140 oil will just make it harder to change gear.
