Gear Box Oil ?

[Dangerous_dave]

when should this be changed and what oil should i use? how much of it to?

No stated service interval I believe, but cars I have had previously seem to have benefitted. It's on my too do list as soon as it isn't so bl**dy cold.

Fully Synth 75-90 is the recommended stuff - 3.1 litres IIRC.

Use the proper Elf stuff? £36 for 5ltrs i think.

75w80 is what should be used and do not deviate from it.

The elf tranself stuff from renault would be fine either of these would be too:
