On the subject of oil, what gearbox oil is ok to use...what specific product?
I read a thread where GL5 75W90 is advised even thought it might not be safe for yellow metals. Is a GL4+5 oil then better?
Do not use the GL5 spec. A basic EP90 GL4 gear oil is available. Castrol also sells a 80W90 in GL4 spec. I found this to be the best one.
Thanks Sean
