Can anyone recommend the best manual gearbox oil?

Good fully synth or VX own, part #93165290 app. 1.6 ltrs capacity, if using VX it comes in 1 ltr bottles

No additives needed if you use VX or an SAE EP-80 CL-4

Keep a eye on it mate

Mine started out like that.
Sunday, I had vibration in 3rd gear.
Last monday and 5 miles later, my gearbox collapsed inside

mobil 75w90.. you will see its better in winter.. ep80 too thick when engine cold.. and gear needs a hammer to change
