Ive booked my S in for a service with Jorge at crown bushey in a couple of weeks and have asked for a gearbox oil change while its in as it feels notchy lately.

My question is, knowing that Jorge is a specialist with the S, do I just leave it to him to use whatever he (honda) uses for a gearbox oil change or do I supply my own gearbox oil? If so, which one?

i've read a lot of post recommending motul Gear300. using it currently in my S and i have nothing to fault it

I use Motul Gear 300 - as I suspect you know

Currently in the Lotus but used it in the S and sold a fair bit of it to other S owners.

Lots of alternatives though, and if you are happy with the OEM stuff (not notchy when cold etc) then it will be totally fine. Gearboxes are tough on these cars and seem to outlast the engine!

I think gearboxes outlast most of the car Mark, but only because they are so hard to smash into lol

I changed from motul to Redline and honestly its a 'little' less notchy.

Thanks for replies guys. Seems like Motul or Redline is better than the OEM stuff.

What is the exact Motul and/or Redline Oil that I need?

Also, how much of it?

There was a thread by me about clutch fluid the otherday look at that, think is MTL 75/80

Gear 300 for the Motul.

Steve - I was just making the point that it probably makes no critical difference

Me too

I tried Hondas MTF3 in mine btw, and have switched to Amsoil as its smoother all around.
