Question

Witch transmission / differential oil should be used for both winter / summer?
According to owner’s manual for my MY2000 Turbo, 75-90 viscosity is from –30 to 40+ Celsius degrees (I would prefer smoother gear changes all the year) and capacities are as follows:
4,00 liters for front transmission/differential
0,8 liters for rear differential.
I know it is covered before and read in previous topics that Castrol Syntrax 75-90 is a good choice, but I would have some opinions about different brands.
Updates please!

i use castrol syntrax in the gearbox and redline 75W90 synthetic gear oil for the rear diff, good for limited slip and conventional diffs.

Stay with Syntrax in the gearbox. I tried full synthetic but it allowed crunching at higher speeds between 4th and 5th Changed to Syntrax and all was well!
