[Richmr2]

Hi all, im after getting some stuff together for my mechanic to service my rev 3 tubby and would like to know what gear box oil i need (lsd),how much do i need and were to buy from?.
Also ive been using moblie1 fully synthetic 0-40 and wondering if this is ok or do i need to buy a different grade (not sure with it getting into winter) or is this ok as i change it every 4-6000

I use redline MT 90 for Gbox

IIRC you will need just over 4 quarts. So you will need to purchase 5 quarts.

For engine oil i use 10W50 fully synthetic. I use Fuchs Titan / Silkolene PRO S. My car doesn't seem to use a drop of oil.

Fuchs is now the new name for Silkolene.

~Hey Richmr2,

Have you done your oil change yet?

I'm looking to get mine done, but haven't got round to it.

Are you experiencing stiff gear changes, as my rev 3 turbo isn't as smooth as it could be going through the gears.

I expected that it had little oil left in the transmission, ordered up 5 quarts, got new sump plugs and washers.
Undid the filler sum and oil poured out, which was the last thing i expected as i thought it would be extremely low.

So I didn't do the oil change, as didn't have the best stuff and was worried that I just need to fill up the oil first and then get the best stuff.

Any way, gear changes are still stiff and i doubt even with the best oil it will make a real difference.

Will still do the oil change with best products next month, but not sure what else to do to get smooth gear changes.

Hope your service goes well.
