Trying To Find A Specific Gearbox Oil

[wildejon 7]

Does anyone know where I might be able to get hold of some of this?

It has been used for years in the g/box and I now I'm all out I cannot find it anywhere!

 

 

Thanks in advance

2 mins on google found this

 

not sure if you have thried them though?

Its for a 1.6 box, attached to an S16 engine.

May well be overkill, happy to use an alternative if there is one but I don't know enough about oils to make a confident decision...

 

Thanks for the link, they weren't there last time I looked thats for sure! Might have to call them and see if they'll do small quantities!

it the wrong oil for a PSA box, you need to use 75W80 BV oil.

 

that stuff is axle oil and not designed to work with synchromesh gearboxes.

No kidding? I'm just using what Revla used to put it in...

I think its time for a new box anyway so may as well start fresh properly...

 

Thanks for the advice

nope, not kidding at all!!

 

the brands that have been used by peugeot are a step better again, Total, Shell and Esso have done a specific blend for Peugeot/citroen, they work much nicer with these

I jumped on OpeOils and they recommended the same, wicked!

Not sure what you mean by the other brands, happy to use thne best I can get within reason... Cheers for the help!

that stuff will do, but you could probably get 2 litres not 1 from your local pug dealer for the same cash
