[Mk2] [NA] Gearbox oil for Rev1 n/a?

Post by HighwayStar »

Hi all.

Just thinking about prepping for a big service next time around.

Am I right in thinking the recommended gearbox oil for a n/a rev 1 box is still Redline MT90?

If so is that all I need to identify the exact spec I want... just 'Redline MT90'?

Finally how much will I need for a change?

Many thanks in advance to anybody who can fill in the details for me.



Ta!

Any good quality GL4 will do great. MT90 is one such example.

Manual says 2.6L IIRC for S54 (3SGE) transmission, so 3L should cover with some left over. Turbo takes just over 4L.
