Hi, I normally get my oils/fluids from opie oils (10% club discount if you quote SCOOBY), grading normally depends on mods and usage, to which they can advise. (I tend to go for the millers branded fluids, as that is what I have been recommended)

Also Scoobyworld, scoobyparts or Camskill are good for oils, filters and other servicing parts, I always look around the named companies at the time I am looking to purchase, as the best place to buy from based on price can vary.

Thanks for the info guys, last question is how much oil does the engine, gearbox and rear diff take?

Also am I right in thinking the engine oil should be done every 6k?

Engine is about 5L
Gearbox is about 4L
And the rear diff is just under a ltr.

Service book recommends every 10k, but it's quite common for people to change their oil more frequently than that.
