i have a 2002 sti PPP 6 speed gear box in my classic ,having new clutch fitted monday .what is the best oil a can put in it .will be doing some track days

 

Dont think you will go wrong with some motul 300, gear oil. Try doing a search on here as there are quite a few topics on oils/lubricants.

try speaking to Opie oils as well. I have found them very professional on the advice they have given me for my specific needs.

 

what about redline shock proof oil

 

PM oilman on here. He should be able to give you some good advice.

Also as midnight said, Motul gear 300 is a quality oil.

 

Hi

You need a 75w-90 for the gearbox*and here are the ones we have.

If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Motul Gear 300, Redline 75w-90NS and Millers TRX are ideal for the gearbox. The Castrol Syntrax, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives. If you have a DCCD box, go for the Motul Gear 300 or Millers CRX.

Unless your gearbox is crunching, I wouldn't use the Shockproof, it's just not necessary and not really designed for normal synchro gearboxes.

Cheers
