I want to do an oil change on my scoob turbo 1998 2.0 want to do engine gearbox and diff oil change was just wondering how much I would need for each if any1 could help cheers bill.

 

4.5 for engine about 3.5 for box and 1 litre for diff

 

Brilliant thanks for that any good recommendations for each of good oils as I plan on doing few track days also with it cheers bill

 

Depends on what model it is millers 10w50 cfs is what i have always used and motul 300 for box and 90pa for diff thats for an sti with plated diff so depends on the car.

 

Hi,

Is the car modified at all? And is it a normal UK turbo?

Cheers

Guy

 

Not modified guy and totally standard with a different back box and yeah it's a uk model, what's the difference between an import and uk are the uk models faster by any chance ? Cheers bill

 

Hi Bill

A good 10w-40 is ideal for your car.

The best ones are the Gulf Competition, Motul 300V, Redline and Millers CFS.

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

If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Gulf Competition, Motul Gear 300, Redline MT90 and Millers TRX are ideal for the gearbox. The Castrol Universal, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives. The Fuchs Syn 5, Motul Gear 300LS, Millers CRX NT LS, Gulf Competition LS and Redline GL5 are ideal for the diff.

Cheers

That's brilliant tim thanks for your help , is there anything I should know b4 I go abt to do the oil changes, ? Best ways to go abt doing it etc cheers bill

 

Hi Bill,

I would recommend Motul oils. I have been using their products for a while and have been really happy with their quality! Have you ever changed transmission or diff oil before?
If not remember to buy a transfer pump before, it will make your life so much easyer and keep in mind that when you fill tranny or diff, you know that there is enough oil when it starts to leak out of filling whole excuse my poor automotive vocabulary, unfortunately I'm Finnish

 

Hole not whole, sorry!

 

Nope never done an oil change on gear box or diff watched few vids online showing you how tho, how do yu know when ther is enough oil in gear box , no probs thanks again bill.

 

Is it just the same as the diff operation?

 

Yeah, it is easy once you get one of these or something similiar


If I shall repeat myself, when you are done with transmission oil change, you can check the oil level from transmissions dipstick. When refilling diff oil, you know that there is enough oil as it starts to leak out of the upper hole that you are pumping oil in.

 

Ok thanks for your time and help bill

 

Anytime mate
