there are lots of good oils out there, but if it helps you decide, i use halfords fully synthetic 5-40. never had a problem and run 360 bhp. i think its more how often you change it that makes a difference.

Ok I have bought 5 litres of Silkolene Pro R 15w-50 and Silkolene 75w90 gearbox oil.
Stupid question but do I need to buy differential oil as well?

Next time, get Castrol 75W-90 oil for the transmission. The Silkolene is within spec and all that, but virtually all specialists on here recommend the Castrol...
