Hey all,
Looking to do my gearbox oil over the weekend as mines getting a bit notchy.
TPS are quoting £40+ for the OEM oil which I know most people swear by. Ive also looked at Motul and Redline too but was wondering if anyone had used this stuff:

Its the same grade and apparently made by the same manufacturer of the OEM stuff (unsure if this is true).
I know most are going to say OEM but has anyone used the Triple Q stuff?
Cheers

75W90 is not the same grade. Get the OEM stuff for the sake of a few quid and what will probably be a one time change

What Dan said.

I used non-OEM oil once, it made the gearbox stiff, and crunch. Soon resolved with a swap with OEM oil :happy2:
