Gearbox/Diff oil
Hi,
going to change the oils on the car,just wondering how much Gearbox oil I need? I have an 03 STi (UK car) I'm going with millers I think 75/90,should i use the standard stuff or go with the new Racing NANO oil?
also the manual suggests the same oil goes in the diff is that correct?
thanks,anything i should know before changing the gearbox and diff oils?

Take out the filler plug on the diff before you drain it just in case it's seized. Be a bit of a bugger if you drain it and can't refill it!
I use a large syringe (50ml) and a 10mm pipe to refill the diff due to the lack of room to swing a bottle about.
Refill the gearbox via the dipstick tube. I use a funnel with a long skinny tube, do it slowly though because it over flows the funnel!!
I have a 94 WRX, unsure if amount of oil is the same but i use the same in both.
3.5l in the box, 0.8l in the diff.

If you're using the Millers CRX 75w-90, you can use it in the gearbox and diff and 5L will cover both. The gearbox takes 4.1L and the diff 0.8L.
