Hey guys just want to ask the grade I need is 75w-80 correct? Would you guys recommend Fully Synthetic or Semi Synthetic? I want the best protection possibile tbh as I believe my gearbox oil has never been changed.

Any particular brands also or doesn't mater?

Cheers :y:

I think syntrax universal does the Job but don't take my word for it. I bought a litre of it recently thinking i could change it myself. Yea right, i hadn't a clue lol

I actually have mine booked in for a gearbox oil change tomorrow. Gears have been a little stiff and sticky. Hoping that helps it.

The recommended gear oil is SAE 75W/80. You will need two litres to re-fill the gearbox.


Semi or fully synthetic.
