Erm. No idea

I got my local dealership to change mine for me. Cost Â£30 all in IIRC!

I also don't know the brand or grade of the oil put in mine, I trusted my garage with that.

I know it's fully synthetic though

Correct womble. Just try and get a fully synthetic one as it is better for the box!

Castrol SMX-S from halfrauds should do the job quite well!

I have been using it since my gearbox rebuild and it seems ok....Need to stick some new stuff in there now....so will do the same again!
