You can mix them, but no need.

Hi
I'd go for a 75w-90.
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-90.aspx
If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Gulf Competition, Motul Gear 300, Fuchs Syn 5 and Millers TRX are ideal for the gearbox. The Castrol Universal, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives. The LSD may cause the oil to break down quicker than normal, so may need more regular oil changes.
Cheers
Tim

While you're on here..ive tried searching on the integra forum but its search function is no good.
What gearbox oil would you reccomend on an Integra DC2 with LSD? Same as your above post?

With your Integra, there are two choices of what to fill your gearbox with.
The first way is to use an oil specifically aimed at the gearbox, which needs a manual transmission fluid.
I would go with the Redline MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid.
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-670-75w-80-75w-85-mtfs.aspx
The problem is that the MTFs aren't designed for LSDs and the oil will breakdown at a quicker rate than normal, but the gear changes will be nice and easy.
The second way is to use the Fuchs Syn 5.
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-68901-fu...-5-75w-90.aspx
The Syn 5 is aimed at gearboxes and LSDs, but it's a bit too thick for your gearbox, making the changes a bit harder. It will last longer than the MTFs though.
Cheers
Tim

Ha, thats abit awkward then. So the first options will need to br replaced longer and if not its more likely to damage itself. Second option will wont damage itself, but will be me if I gave it no mechanical sympathy?
Not sure which to go for yet, will need some in a week or so when I replace the driveshaft.
Thanks for the advice!

It's not bad, the MTFs will probably last 1-2 years. The Syn 5 option is best saved for track only cars where the oil gets hotter.
Cheers

What engine oil for a 1998 Citroen Saxo 1.1?
Mainly use it for a lot of short distances, looking to buy ASAP as I'm getting low.
Also my tappets are pretty loud someone said this could have something to do with oil?
Any advice would be good cheers!

Hi
I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below.
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.
As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs XTR, Shell Helix, Millers XSS or Motul 6100
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx
You need an MTF for the gearbox and I would go with the Redline MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid. The Millers EP 75w-80 is a good cheaper alternative
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-670-75w-80-75w-85-mtfs.aspx
Cheers
Tim

Hi
I would use a 5w-40 synthetic as it will give the best cold start protection, ideal for short trips.
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition and are likely to keep the tappets quiet. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs Supersyn, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.
Cheers
Tim

5w-40 synthetic is ideal, a 10w-40 semi is the basic option.

Out of the 10w-40s I would either go for the Fuchs XTR, Shell Helix, Millers XSS or Motul 6100.

Thanks for this!
Think I'll buy the Fuchs, but one question...
Would there be any issues with delivery costs to the Isle of Wight? There's only a very small amount of businesses that have issues with posting to the Isle of Wight and it's normally down to the courier... What would your advice be?

Hi
That really doesn't sound good, there shouldn't be any metal floating around in the oil. I think you need to get hold of a mechanic.
Cheers
