Pulled my engine and gearbox out today. So had to drain gearbox oil. 1. What type should I be using to replace it with? 2. How much do I need? 3. Where's the fill level?

I use vauxhalls stuff. Fill plug on the top, level plug on the side. Flat level ground, bang 2 litres in and let it level itself then put the plugs back in.

Cheers so I'm assuming just rock up to stealers and for some gearbox oil for a VX220.

Yeah, I think the last lot I got was about £15.

Cool will pick some up on Monday.

Unless you changed it since, it had castrol smxs or whatever the acronym is for the synth stuff from halfords in it

Oh, and I always kept 2.2 ish litres in.

Not changed it before so will be that. Is it worth putting the same in again?

The more oil you put in the more likely to p*ss out through the breather. Its not like we see loads of boxes fail through overheating.

Castrol Syntrans Multivehicle 75W-90 1L Cat code: 209809 This one?
