Am I correct in saying I will need;;
3.5 litres of gear oil
1 litre of diff oil.
For a service on a 2006 STI.

Also I am looking at this stuff;;
Silkolene SILKTRAN SYN 5 75W-90 Fully Synthetic Gear Oil (now Fuchs Titan Race Syn 5 75w-90)

Is this used in the diffs as well

1 Litre for the Diff and get 90w as per the Service Book/Owners Manual

I have Fuchs 90 in the diff
and the Fuchs/Silkolene SILKTRAN SYN 5 75W-90 Fully Synthetic Gear Oil in the Gearbox

Are you buying for someone else to install..

In you are doing the changes get new seals and check for torque settings on the bolts ... PLZZ

All Silkolene car products were renamed Fuchs Titan Race, but all of the oils remained the same. The only thing I can say against the Syn 5 is that it doesn't like DCCD boxes so if you have that, go for the Motul Gear 300 or Millers CRX 75w-90 NT.

OK cheers for that, I used the Syn 5 last change with no problems but I will take your advice a go with the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT.
