Need an off the shelf gearbox oil

[hipwell]

So long story short I was changing my wishbones to ones with pms stiffening plates and poly bushes.

Ns driveshaft came apart and pissed oil everywhere.

I need the car tomorrow. What oils would you recommend that can be got off the shelf in halfords, ecp?

I'd normally use elf but nowhere stocks it.

Sunflower oil by Sainsbury`s is better than nothing at all.

Check out @Dr Jekyll's project thread, he used some halfords oil in his gearbox not so long back

I don't mind paying for something half decent if it's correct.

I can only see one 75 80 on eurocarparts but it's mineral oil

mineral will be fine, hey should keep fully in if hat's what you'd prefer.

I saw that but it said gl5 which apparently is no good for the jc5. So i went with the 75w80 gl4 mineral.

@bloke when you say mineral will be ok do you mean will be ok to get me by till I can get some good stuff in? Or should it be ok?

Car rarely gets trashed and never tracked
