0w or 5w should not make any difference to the engine. As already mentioned the SAE40 is the more important bit. Cheers, Guy

The Motul Gear300 LS is a 75w-90 and API GL5, ideally you want a 75w-80 API GL4 which is why the Redline MTL is so popular. If you wanted to look at the Motul then the normal gear300 75w-90 would be the one to go for as it meets both GL4 and GL5 (essentially a GL4 oil that also passes the GL5 EP...

He is talking about the difference between API GL4 and API GL5. These are the common universal specs for gear/diff oils. Once upon a time they used different additives and the API GL5 could attack yellow metals in the synchromesh. So it was API GL4 for synchromesh gearboxes and API GL5 for...

As the poster above, stick with what the gearbox wants. With the addition of the lsd just change more regularly. The Elf 75w-80 will cope, just the Redline is the next level up so can cope better. Cheers, Guy.

I would defidefinitely look at the pressure sensor. Oil wise, I would be tempted to go for a 5w-40 over a 10w-40 as they are the same when hot but a 5w will flow a bit better than a 10w on start up. If you plan to use a flush, make sure you use a detergnt based one and not a solvent based one...

I would use a 5w-40 ester synthetic if you are taking it on track.

It will be fine (y) https://check-vehicle-compatibility-e10-petrol.service.gov.uk/manufacturer/Renault Cheers, Guy

Nah, the Redline MT90 wont kill the gearbox. As the other poster said, a coincidence. Cheers, Guy

You could try it, it wont break anything or harm anything but being a little thicker when hot you might get a baulky gearchange. Best to stick to 75w-80 (y)

Yup that will be ideal, and as the above poster mentioned, Redline MTL is also a good choice.

What oil did you put in it? Cheers, Guy
