Re: Unparallel Renault 16 Happenings
I just bought some manual gearbox oil.
It occurred to me that I have never bought manual gearbox oil before.

Re: Unparallel Renault 16 Happenings
Is it anything special? All my cars have specified either engine oil or EP 90 for the gearboxes.

Re: Unparallel Renault 16 Happenings
EP80 or EP90 either will do. EP80/90 multi grade is also fine.

From memory GL4 has a different additive pack to protect brass bits in the box.
