Default gearbox and diff???

hi,im looking at filling my sti type r 98 gearbox with oil,and rear diff.
i know what good stuff to put in but just cannot justify 89 fookin quid for the oils......
what are the best options as i dont believe that everyone that owns a type r is spending near on 90 quid to top up diff and gearbox?
if all of you pay that sort of price then ill hold my hands up!

here are your options, use decent oil, job done for a year of motoring, use poor oil and do the job 2-3 times, and it works out at the same cost..........

i don't pay for my oil, so i'm not too concerned about how many times i replace mine.
