clio 182 gearbox oil

[mark989]

Am i right in saying it takes 3.1 litres to fill to the fill line in a clio 182 gearbox?

What oil is everyone using in there gearboxes? hoping to get from opie oils
thanks,

yep that is correct

castrol 75-80 GPX is perfect for these boxes. 3 litres is probably enough to be honest but to be on the safe side get 4.

Oh and you cant get it at opie oils btw

 

[mark989]

were you get it then

is the castrol EPX 75W-80 any good

Either one of these will be fine.

Just make sure whatever you use is 75w80 and don't deviate.

Cant fault it, 3 litres seems to take it to the max. Make sure you change the washer on the sump plug and dont loose the rubber washer on the butterfly fill bolt.
