James,

The Castrol edge 0w-40 is a true pao synthetic, good stuff so you will have no issues with it.

Hi,

5w-40 or 0w-40 full synthetic is your top option.

The best are the ester based oils of Silkolene and Motul.

Oil for gearbox and engine please??

[oilman]

For the gearbox you will need a 75w-90 semi or full synthetic depending on how much you want to spend.

For the engine a 5w-40 synthetic, top option or a 10w-40 semi as a cost option.

Cheers

engine and gearbox please

[oilman]

For the engine as above.

For the gearbox a good 75w-90 or 75w-80. Synthetic is the top choice but semi is also suitable. brand wise, Castrol, Mobil, Fuchs, Motul, Silkolene etc.

Hi,

The GTX from Castrol is really the basic recomendation, fine if changed every few thousand miles. Next up is a decent semi synthetic 10w-40 tehn on to a 5w-40 synthetic if you really want to treat it.

Cheers

I got a Saxo 1.1

Is it OK to put 0w-40 or 0w-30 synthetic in as i am thinking of changing the oil soon?

Also what about gearbox oil?

Yes they will be ok, 0w-40 is more suitable then 0w-30.

Gearbox oil, 80w-90 or 75w-90.
