wrong oil, and yes i am using it now.
very stiff gearchange; nearly impossible to change gear during winter when start cold
forget to add.
get the 75w/80 total oil, cheap enough, just like less than 5 quid per litre

yeah straight 90 would be very heavy but as its a 75-90 i presumed it would take heat a bit better on track days and as its fully synth again i would hope it was a bit "slippy" to help in the cold

75/90 is still thicker than 75/80 when cold.
unless you are running silly power otherwise stick will the grade peugeot said.
miller or motul do full synth. 75w/80 oil i think but is like 2 times more expensive than total stuff
