Any other information that may be relevant: e.g. approx BHP if modified, any transmission problems

Hi Andy

I would use a good 5w-40 synthetic in the engine.

5w-40 engine oil | 5w40 oil

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition.

You need a 75w-90 for the gearbox, diff and transfer box.

75w-90 Gear Oils for your Car from Opie Oils

If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Gulf Competition, Motul Gear 300, Redline MT90 and Millers TRX are ideal for the gearbox. The Castrol Universal, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives. The Fuchs Syn 5, Millers CRX, Redline 75w-90 GL5, Motul Gear 300 and Gulf Competition are ideal for the diff. The Fuchs Sintopoid, Castrol Syntrax Longlife, Millers TRX, Motul Motylgear, Mobil SHC and Amsoil FGR are also good choices.

Due to the AYC specs I would go for either the Amsoil ATF, Motul Multi ATF, Fuchs ATF4400, Gulf Multi Vehicle ATF or Millers Millermatic ATF SPIII.

Thanks....any chance you can pm me with a price for all the best oils, whatever you recomend, thanks again

Hi

The prices are as per the site, but you can use the code WAREHOUSE at the moment for 20% off.

It's up to you to pick which ones to go for, the ones I listed there are comparable to each other, it's not really fair to say one is better than the other when they are that similar.

Cheers
