I got mine from RCm , just changed mine last week, I think it was called Titan or something, give them a ring. I also had to change the seals as 2 were leaking but as I had the whole diff off I changed all 4.

Yeah as an all round good oil it is spot on , or if you want something better , heavyweight redline is very good stuff ....

goujon

yeah its not for track use or highly modified its just the standard recommended or what people found best for normal road use my impreza is pretty much standard just a few small mods.

I have just ordered some Fuchs TITAN GEAR SYN 75W-90 Semi Synthetic from Opie

goujon

i dont need race oil its just for everyday road use theres no point paying for more expensive oil when not needed ill just go for the castrol syntrax but thanks anyway.

Trust me you do......and its not that expensive.....

goujon

so fuchs titan 75w90 semi synthetic is the recommended choice if not castrol syntrax are they available in normal shops like halfords csf or bennets or do you have to get it online as i want to buy it now im about to go to get it...
