Hi,
I have a 1994 WRX, I would like to know the correct oil to be used in the gearbox.

I stripped 3rd gear and the 3rd gear syncro, which I think was a result of the incorrect gear oil. I used Esso 80w -90 in my gearbox which I think caused the problem.

Someone told me that I should use a thicker oil. Can you advise the advantages and disadvantages of the thick and thin oil.

Also, do you think i should mix two different oils?
I'm living in St. Vincent in the caribbean if you would like to know the weather condition.

I got a used gearbox that i'm about to install, but I would liketo know what sort of oil i should use.

LOL@Marlaka!

About to change my gearbox oil when the shop restocks..

Most people on here seem to use Castrol Syntrax 75W90.

Not sure what difference the heat there would make..

I believe the spec is 75W90...

Hi JGM
Dave West (Princes Risbourgh 4WD) uses a gearbox oil specialy developed for Scoobs made by Shell, which is very good. Unfortunatly I don't have any other details. Perhaps someone can post them later
Best wishes
Steve

You guys have this thing like a joke.

I seriously would like to know what type of oil to use.

I'm getting a used box this week, so I would really like your help on the oil.

Also, do you know what might have caused the problem with the 3rd gear stripping.

Can you guys please the read the topic and help me with the problem.

If you post in the correct forum then you might:) get more technical replies.

HTH.

What more do you want??

75W90 is the grade and you want something like Castrol Syntrax which is made for Japanese gearboxes.. or Steve says there is a Shell oil.. or there is Redline oil too..

Castrols website is HERE if it is a help.

JGM :)

i wasn't joking you pay the airfare i will come and fit it

Thought people in sunnier climates were supposed to be happier :)
Obviously NOT the case :rolleyes:

3rd gear a bit prone to stripping. I know mine did and that's what the dealer said. Oh, that was after he said... and I quote "I wouldn't bother with the extended warranty as these things are bombproof"

Hope this helps and if not then who cares as you sound a real grump ;)
