You shouldnt need to change the GB oil after 8k.

I think its 4.1 litres.

Remove the plug at the bottom of the gearbox to allow the old oil to drain out. Replace. Fill through the dipstick hole. This can be tricky but you can get a small funnel in there.

I spoke to oilman and he says he cannot think of a instance when the redline shockproof has been used in a dccd box so was unable to clarify wether u can use the shockproof.

Would be intrested to hear if anybody else on here has used the smurfs blood on a dccd box ?
