i was going to give you an answer but i forgot the exact spec..

now the answer that most will give you will be ; "search" !! Easy one on the search function .

I believe it was 75w80 or was it 75w85? Castrol seems to be a favorite, ELF is OEM used.

thanks mate!

75w80, from opie oils you can get either castrol epx stuff or some fuchs stuff. Swings and roundabouts between the two, don't deviate on the viscosity either.

Make sure it's GL5 as well

im using Castrol EPX, not had a shot of the car with it in yet but it came highly recomended when i looked into it, cheap too!

 

[Luke.]

thanks for you help!

Anything GL5 75w80 should be fine. Though castrol does seem favorite. Ive got Comma gearbox oil and I can't fault it after 10,000 miles

how much oil does the gearbox take? gonna do an oil change soon

 

[Henry]

3L will do it; it 'should' be 3.1L, but it won't all drain. probably 2-3L in practise

 

[Luke.]

i might just buy 5l tbh! wont go to waste really!

 

[Henry]

the TransElf (TRX/NFP) stuff that's recommended is available from Renault in 5L tubs, but it's chuffing expensive! need to buy some as well at some point

i was just looking at the castrol stuff and its 32quid for 4 litres
