I'm also a bit confused with gearbox oil choices. The Kroon oil mentioned; is this the right stuff:

My synchro isn't 100% either, so I'm desperate to get the oil changed in my '94 GT manual.

So firstly, I'd avoid that seller, its a rebranded autodoc site, whom I've had way too many issues with to recommend.

Lots of informative posts here. Special Thanks to Brinkie.

So, reading all the above, my criteria should be :

GL4 ONLY
75W80
Elf NFP or equivalent.

So how about :

https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-147652-com ... fluid.aspx

Every box above ticked and with VOC discount about £35 for 5L.

It even lists Tranself NFP in the specifications.
That would get my vote but also note this....

If you're looking for additional items to add to your basket at Opie, then add some DYNAX S50.... Trust me, you own a 480, you'll need this! :rofl:
:lol:

Noted! Thank you kindly. I will take you up on the suggestion. I must have pulled out a kilogram of wet dirt from inside the arches after washing the wheels down 🤣
