Hi guys just wondering what thoughts some of you scooby owners have on this. I'm going to be changing the gearbox oil and diff oils in my scoob and a friends at the same time and the generall concensus seems to be syntrax universal for both the gearbox and diff which is fine untill i checked the price

So my question is are there any cheaper alternatives out there which do the same job or is syntrax 75/90 the best out there? also im in the trade and am haveing a hard time getting this for under

<5 Litres should be enough of good quality 75/90 Castrol, Millers Motul etc.

<4L in the box and 1 in the diff. Drain & level plugs put up a hell of a fight but a 1/2" drive fits nicely.

Overfill the gearbox by 10mm as third sits high.

You could try Alyn at AS Performance. Good bloke and a BP trader.

Thanks again guys for all the info!
Alyn both the cars are STI's however mine is a wagon STI so im unsure if she will have a LSD fitted being the wagon.
What do you recommend for use in the gearbox and rear diffs and how quickly could i get enough to do both cars.
Thanks in advance..

best to call to order/discuss and everything is sent out 'next day' delivery.......depends on exact age/model as to wether they have LSD'd or viscous type

A big Thankyou to Alyn for sorting all the oils ect. All parts fitted and running great, nice prices too

Again thanks so much, if my scoob could speak i'm sure she would thankyou too. Will be in touch as and when i get some pennies for a couple more parts.
Big thumbs up :thumb:
