Lee found this on the MLR

Gearbox 2.2litres 6 speed (2.8 for five speed)
transfer box 0.6 litres
rear diff 0.55
Used silkolene syn 5 for all of the above and for the ayc torque transfer part of the diff used genuine ayc fluid 0.6litres.

Hope it helps

silkolene syn 5

Heard very mixed views about silk although that is what was originally recommended to me by others?

Thanks for the quantities

personally never got on with syn5 although i know quite a few peeps that use it, we would pretty much always use CRX75w90 from millers

I use Redline Heavy Shockproof in my gearbox it's excellent, and you can use it in the diff too unless you have an LSD in which case you have to use 75W90 type oil and no friction eliminators.
