Correct yes, if you put in specific LS oil you'll more than likely have issues changing gear.

I was just about to order up some redline MT90 for my gear box and stumbled across this thread and Mark's recomendation...

It's certainly a lot cheaper and I was therefore wondering if things have changed (as the last post was some time ago) or if it is indeed just as good as the MT90?

Cheers, Gav.

It's superior to the overpriced, overated MT90. Still a much better buy.

I've just received my Millers CRX 80w90 (bought as a cheaper option than Redline MT90) but am unsure whether this is totally suitable for a gearbox equipped with LSD as per mine, please can someone confirm???

EDIT - Apologies, I've just read that this is the correct one for gearboxes with LSD in them :oops: :lol:

Panic over :lol:

Thanks
