Mikie711 9 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Scotty, what grade you running?. Think I'll switch mine to Motul. What gearbox oil are people using ? Edited September 21, 2010 by Mikie711 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simon M 3 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 For what its worth Mikie... and because I am also a Motul distributor 5W50 (its not a 300V but is a fully synthetic brought out to satisfy a perceived demand mostly from LoT people). Its good for occassional track day use and of course road. Alternatively a 5W40 is equally as good for 2-Eleven use. Both are more than adequate although some officianardo's of oil would argue the 5W/40 300V is more suitable because its not as "stretched". If you have the standard front mounted oil coolers the 5W40 is plenty good enough. 15W50 300V if its for competition or hard core track use. Just make sure you always allow the car a couple of minutes to warm up before use. The gearbox, typically should run a 75W90 synthetic. However, I'm inclined to run the Motul 75W140 Competition oil for track use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
