    Had to drop the 100mile old oil from mine to tighten up fifth gear...

    I topped it up with some 75/90 I found in the garage but then realised it's fully synth, so I'm gonna drop it today and refill with some proper spec stuff. I've read 75/90S in the Haynes manual. I've not heard of it before though? Is it easy to come by or really will just plain old 75/90 do?

    Cheers btw lads.
