Hi All,
Im having the gear box mod done at the moment and need to get some new oil. Mines an 06 V8 Vantage
could any one please let me know what the correct / best oil and how much to re fill the gearbox?

Aston changed the oil around MY07 to, in theory,help the shift....unfortunately I can't recall what to and left my service papers with the car.

An Aston dealer would be able to tell you.
