gearbox and diff oil
Hi all I'm sure somewhere there will be a thread already with my answer but as your all usually nice enough too point me in the right direction here we go.. I'm going too buy some oil for my 03 blob sti gearbox and diff.
I probably wont get around too changing it yet as I still have a few things too do but as the moneys there I thought may as well buy it.
shes on 67k now so might have some wear.
I do drive it hard and I get a slight crunch (not a grind) going from 5th to 6th or back from 6th to 5th
And if its really warm and im giving her a hard time 4th to 5th but thats a rarity even if shes getting some stick..
Iv never had a problem with diffs aswell sooo any info much apriciated as always

Hi
You need a 75w-90 for the gearbox and diff .
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-...ion-fluid.aspx
If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Gulf Competition, Motul Gear 300, Red Line 75w-90NS and Millers TRX are ideal for the gearbox. The Castrol Universal, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives. The Fuchs Syn 5, Millers CRX, Redline 75w-90 GL5, Motul Gear 300 and Gulf Competition are ideal for the diff. The Fuchs Sintopoid, Castrol Syntrax Longlife, Millers TRX, Motul Motylgear, Mobil SHC and Amsoil FGR are also good choices.
Cheers
Tim

Just done mine yesterday. 21 or 22mm socket fitted over it okay
If not a adjustable spanner should do the trick, need's a bit of a "Shock" to unseize it, should unbolt fine afterwards
AS for oil. I went with the Millers 75W90 Nanotech stuff, work's well. 4 litres in gearbox. 0.8 in rear diff
kept the 0.2 incase theres a little leak
