Hi all,
Having searched the forums for the most suitable gearbox oil and the last post was a few years ago.
My local motor factors has these in stock.




Any thoughts?

There is lots of discussion on PH about ATF vs Gear Oil, but the manufacturers recommendation and general consensus is that you should use ATF for the T5WC (which has different lubrication requirements to the T5 non WC).

I use the most expensive Fully Synth ATF I can easily buy, which is Valvoline MaxLife ATF from ECP.

The best thing I did with my gox was fit the Billet 5th Gear Stabiliser from

It is not as easy to fit as the instructions imply (Remove 5th Gear!)

Hopefully it will stop this happening again



Interestingly he now supplies a Heavy Duty 5th Gear Set with the same 0.8 ratio
