Gearbox oil for Rev3 Turbo

[Marf]

What is everyone using?

Clutch is being changed 1st of July so I want to do the oil at the same time.

Whats the capacity? 4L?

Lots of threads about MT-90, what about the shockproof range?

I used the heavy shockproof in my Charade Turbo to great effect.

My box is generally OK - just a crunch when downshifting from 4th to 3rd but otherwise OK.

I used mt90 when i changed mine. I don't think you can go wrong.

I bought 3 quarts but needed a liitle bit more.

I used silkolene silktran when I did mine, and to be honest it felt pretty much identical to use afterwards. Makes you feel warm inside knowing its done though

[Marf]

OK gonna buy MT90 - so 4 quarts?

[dazzz]

Yeah, 4 quarts.

You'll have about 3/4 of a bottle left at the end iirc. You shouldn't need it again so you can just pour it down the drain.

[Marf]

Thanks, and I assume by pour it down the drain you mean the drain at the dump which leads to the waste oil tank??

Should never put oil down the drain, its fecking toxic!

[dazzz]

Pour it straight in the brook then!

I'm only joking Marf, I didn't think you would really pur it down the drain.

[Marf]

I wouldnt no! And I hope you wouldnt either!!

Picked up 5l of Gulf Competition for £52 delivered from Opie

[Torero]

Yeah, 4 quarts.

You'll have about 3/4 of a bottle left at the end iirc.

I'd be happy to buy the remainder of the final bottle off you Marf. It'll save me buying a 4th bottle and you can get some cash back as well. Plus we have the peace of mind to realise that we are protecting our planet by not wasting valuable chemical fluids by disposing of them without use.

The last point will be particularly in mind when hooning it round the country lanes and motorways @ 20mpg.

[Marf]

Been looking through the BGB, total capacity is 4.2 litres, so I'll have about 0.8 litres left over out of my 5l bottle of the Gulf stuff. If you wanna buy the remainder thats cool with me

[Torero]

Happy to Marf, I just need to get to W. Sussex from London to collect.

I'll PM you shortly.

John.

Hi John, if you're still interested I have about 1.5 or so litres of the Gulf g'box oil left over.
