    Re: gear box oil

    just had a chat with a guy i deal with at demon tweeks the millers oil i could use will work out at £65.00 for a 5 litre bottle

    he did also say i probably would not notice any difference from millers to a standard brand on a standard box where as if i was running with a lsd or a moded box then i probably would want to run the best i could afford

    Decision time

    75/90 will do you fine.... Probly best going euro car parts or gsf and buy a gallon drum... Dont think you would need to slash out on fancy oils for the old JB3 box...

    Do halfords sell it in the larger bottles or is it still only 1 litre? Get it from a local factor, 5 litres works out a lot cheaper. I got mine nearly same price as 1 litre but get a nice price at my work
