Changed the gearbox and engine oil today.
Quite easy really.

The gear shift is now super smooth.

I used the following Motul products;

- Motul 8100 X-CESS 5W-40 engine oil 100% Synthetic.

- Motul Gear 300 75W-90 gearbox oil 100% Synthetic.

Did it make a change to what it was before ?

Did it make a change to what it was before ?

Not that much of a difference, more piece of mind though!
The gearbox oil that came out was quite clean.

I like the feeling of knowing that it is done properly with quality fluids.

To be honest though, I do feel that the gear change is a bit slicker, less resistance, not affected by cold morning starts etc. (If that makes sense!)

Fair enough, I am going to put some Redline MT-90 in my 4motion.

It's become rather notchy so if that doesn't fix it, its off to VW for a shifter linkage checkup.

Almost a month on and the gear shift is still super smooth.

More than half a year later, still smooth as!
