G'Day all,
How many litres of oil does the gearbox take ?
What oil would you recommend ?
Cheers,

I am using Fuchs oils for everything now (new local dealer with good price) but was using Penrite with no problems but was expensive.

At the end of the day, all you have is yourself and all you need is your friends (and in our case our Patrol)

I ended up putting in Castrol VMX80, very smooth gear changes now.

My gen manual recommends API GL4 75-90w only.
the only is actually written in there, not my input.
Manual was released with the 02 model & printed in 2001.
personally I'd stick with the higher W given todays pushing 40c

Exactly what I filled my cog box with. Unsure what was in it prior, but it's very smooth after that.
