Default Engine/Gearbox/Diff Oil for Newage WRX

As above really, I know this has probably been asked many many times but I can't find a definitive answer anywhere.

Looking for what/how much oils I will need for the engine/gearbox and diffs. The wrx is be partly modified to around 280bhp (hopefully) if that makes any difference to the grade required.

Also, where is the best place to buy from in terms of cost?? I have found the same oil on two different websites for two very different prices

Engine oil Millers CFS 10w 40
Transmission Millers CRX 75w 90 nt. You'll need 5 litres of each and Alyn @ As Performance is your man.

Great stuff, cheers for that so just to clarify...
5 litres of CFS 10w 40 for engine
5 litres of CRX 75w 90 for transmission and diffs??

Is the diff oil the same as transmission?

done my reading on open source and ecutek maps this morning, going to go with a road map with Duncan

Yep diff and gearbox oil are the same grade. One 5 litre tub will do both. 3.5 litres for box and just short of a litre for the diff.

A road map in my opinion is better than a dyno map. As it represents real world factors plus you're not paying the dyno surcharge.
You're doing the right thing researching and getting clued up. Remember knowledge is power.

+1 for opie oil's or ASperformance.

10W40 or 10W50 ( if used a bit harder ) for the engine. Millers or fuchs titan ( fully synthetic)

75W90 for the gearbox as stated above. 4.2 litre's for gearbox and 0.8 for rear diff (5 speed) if i remember correctly. That's what mine got and at perfect level's.

Look for opie oil's on here , his discount code for Scoobynet is in his signature
