with all this talk about gearboxes blowing up i thought i had better change the oil as part of the next service ,Noble recommend shell spirax 75w 90 which only seems to be available in 80w 90 ,don,t suppose that is going to make that much of a difference but is there anything better out there ?? are you guys using anything else that is better ??

Don,t suppose anyone can say wether it is better or not ,but if you are going to change the oil you may aswell buy the best there is !! after all Noble were on a budget when they decided what to use and that was a few years ago things move on !!
