Hi all
Due to recent posts im well clue'd up on what engine oil to use, but no one seems to have posted what gearbox oil to use, the cars a 2002 sti import, and before all the useless keyboard warriors get involved i already used "SEARCH" and it didnt return S*%t

Thanks All

Andy

 

silkolene silktran syn5 is in mine mate can recommend.

 

im getting the above put in on thursday also, on recommendation from on here.

seems to be the weapon of choice.

 

Castrol Syntrax has just been put in mine.Gearbox feels a lot better now that it's been changed too!!

 

Castrol Syntrax works well for most people.

 

Thanks guys, nice to be helped rather than patronised like a lot of the other newbies are on here

 

Another vote for Castrol Syntrax.

 

Another vote for Silkolene or Motul

Cheers

With due respect to Oilman who doesn't sell Castrol, Castrol Syntrax is the one recommended by those people I know who know, through extensive experience. There have been long threads on this. Just to prove my conviction, I have five litres of Motul in the garage now, but I've ordered the Castol Syntrax and that's what's going in. Gear change quality is the thing that makes it - fully synth is too slippery (apparently).

Motul GEAR 300 works perfectly with my own MY05 WRX STI.

Castrol Finland does NOT recommend it for severe use.. I have asked them few weeks about that.

 

Errmm.

I do sell Castrol.

I dont stock the Syntrax because quite frankly there is so much better.

You use what you feel comfortable with.

Cheers

Simon.
