westy 614 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 I use Redline 75W90 gear oil... synthetic too....25$ litre BnT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted May 9, 2007 If you don't buy Redline oil (which is very good btw ) another good fully synthetic oil is Ams Oil it comes in a massive variety of weights and types for different applications. If you know what grade to get it should be easy to find the correct oil. And the Ams oil is also fully synthetic. However it may not be any cheaper than the Castrol oil which is reccomended. this probably didn't help but its another option Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bekker 7 Report post Posted May 10, 2007 I really like Penrite oils. They're an Australian company and their products stack up very well. I think they are very good value for money too. Check out www.penrite.com.au and they will put you in touch with the rep, or I believe Pioneer auto parts stock their better products. Some products are sold at Supercheap auto. Good luck!
