6 speed gearbox and diff oil?
 
Hi all,

I'm upgrading my gear box with a 6 speed, what is the best oil to use in the box and diff please? Any pros or cons to certain oils?

Thanks very much

Hi

Is it a DCCD box or normal?

Cheers

Tim

Hi Tim, its a normal one. didn't think to just pop over to you guys, only in Camborne lol

It does mean venturing into Redruth though.

You need a 75w-90 for the gearbox and diff.

If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Gulf Competition, Motul Gear 300, Red Line 75w-90NS and Millers TRX are ideal. The Castrol Universal/Universal Plus/Syntrans Multivehicle, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives.

We're here until 5.30 if you want to head over.

Cheers

What would be best for Dccd 6 speed Tim?
I am having one fitted in a few weeks In my classic v5wagon

The box / diff etc came from a 06 plated widetrack

Thanks

Hi Neil

I would usually go for this in the gearbox with a DCCD set up

Thanks for the help Tim, I'll be over next week to get sorted, I know I have to venture through 'ruth, sure I can make it in and out without loosing my wheels!! lol
Any idea how much a box and diff takes?

Cheers, Lee

Hi Lee

You'll need 4L for the gearbox and 0.8L for the diff.

Cheers

Tim
