#1: Gearbox Oil Author: NathanG, Location: Ebbw Vagas (Wales)Posted: Sun Aug 15, 2010 4:10 am ---- Whilst fitting my springs yesterday i popped the drive shaft out the passenger side (yes i know before anyone says anything). Well i lost loads of gearbox oil so now i need some. I know i need Total 75w80 but my problem is i've already driven 60miles this morning looking for some in all the Total petrol stations. The only Total oil i can find is 80w90. Would this be ok to use.
Seen as i lost a lot of oil i thought i may as well change the entire 2ltrs of gearbox oil but cant find the 'correct' oil.

Make you used the right grade oil or the gearbox wont feel right.

#6: Re: Gearbox Oil Author: StinkyMonkey, Location: EssexPosted: Sun Aug 15, 2010 4:58 am ---- Until you find a place selling the total oil, i'm sure the oil you have got in there will do the job for the time being. Better than having none and doing some damage.

#8: Re: Gearbox Oil Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Sun Aug 15, 2010 7:55 am ---- As long as its the right grade it will be fine.
