I'm going to do some servicing on the car at the weekend, one of the jobs is gearbox oil.

I have used Redline MTL (for the gearbox) in the past which is good, but this time I'm going to give Castrol SMX-S a shot, its 75w85.

Anyone tried it?

Apart from 'turtle' and 'Ron' (both never posts anymore)

Thanks for you input

So far running an SC, krankvents, mini vent on front breather hose the oil consumption has dropped quite a bit running Castrol Edge 5w40

Always used smx-s in all my cars also use saf-xj in the diffs.

I'm running it at the mo in the 'box. Honest answer is it doesn't feel any different to the original Honda MTF that was 3 years and a few trackdays old.

Chief advantage was it's readily available at Halfwits whenever suits and cheap as chips with a trade card
