Good Quality Oil?...Recommendations

[dubmc]

changing the oil in my box, as it's been getting a hard time.

any recommendations as to a quality gearbox oil to suit 020 5-speed?...don't mind spending money on the important bits.

thanks folks.

Motul Gear 300 is about the best non-LSD specific oil I've used. Motul Gear-FF-LSD is the choice if you have an LSD, though.

Redline Heavyweight Shockproof is also pretty good in an older trans. The lightweight version is ok in a newer one too

You can still use Gear-FF... In fact, you can run it in stock trans altogether. A lot of the Jap crowd run it in standard transmissions It's just a lot dearer than Gear 300, which is damn good anyway...
