Same questions on the racing forum..with a similar levels of confusion.theres a special stuff from one of the performance oil people that looks like fence paint as its a green emulsion. ATF was popular. but remember racing cars never really bother about longevity. however much easier to find a semi synthetic ep 75/80/90 GL4 http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel/engine-oils-fluids/gearbox-oil/halfords-gear-oil-ep-75w-80-gl-4-1l http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel/engine-oils-fluids/gearbox-oil/comma-gear-oil-sx75w-90-gl4-1l Just examples youll find the comma stuff cheaper if you avoid Halfrauds. |

Does anybody have any experience of additives (with the intention of making the 'box quieter); i.e. do they actually work? The gearbox in my Ami 8 is pretty noisy (crown wheel and pinion, I believe). Ultimately, I will change the 'box at some point, but in the short term it'd be nice to make it a little quieter. An oil change helped, but I would also go for an additive if people know of one that works. Following on from this, please see my other thread, asking for a gearbox... Ta |

In answer to the first question, I use Comma EP80/90. £3.50/l from Wilko. |
