Geearbox oil.....

[chris172]

Just bought TRJ 75w80 gearbox oil and was quoted £12 a litre !!!!

is that right? or have Camden ripped me off?

 

[Fred@BTM]

seems very expensive

I got quoted a silly amount for elf TRZ from my local dealer. Ended up going for Millers oil in 5 litres for 30 quid.

At these silly price you are better off going for Millers or Redline (both tried and liked) or Silkolene.

I thought the TRJ & TRP G/Box oils (V6 only) were ONLY available through the Reno dealer network.............not even Total Butler can supply it.

Also Chris if its a 172 you have I thought it was TRZ.

As for the price all I can say is that Reno were going to charge £60 to change it (including the oil).

It was them that told me it was TRJ....

Where is the best place to confirm this..... onlly wanted to get some for a top-up as I think the box is leaking again

 

[stusV6]

Well Chris you can phone Total Butler and they will tell you via thier technical department.............or contact Reno customer services and ask to speak to Renos technical department.

But I still think youll find its TRZ and that is only £4.50 per litre...........as I say the TRJ & TRP are specifically designed and produced for the Vee........thats not to say you couldnt or shouldnt use either in a 172/182.

PS the tel no for Total Butler is 01977 603363 and ask for Debra and if she is not available just ask to be put through to their technical department.

I changed mine to TRJ and its brill. It says its for JB,JC,JH and JR boxes on the can so its fine in a 172.
