Gearbox Oil

Post by miles5 »

Is SWEPCO 201 80/90 GEAR OIL a good choice or is there something better?

Any other tips for changing the gearbox oil.

Thanks.

Swepco certainly made a difference in my box (easier shifting) before I had it rebuilt.
Simon at Opie oils will offer free advice on all sorts of oil applications.
sales@opieoils.co.uk I think Silkolene make a very good oil.

It's a pain to change if you don't have access to a hoist as the fill is on the top side of the box. Make sure you drain it on flat ground. I use a long peice of (clean) hose and a funnel. You can get a pressure filler to pump it in.
