Subject: Re: M45 Gearbox Oil
Another oil to consider might be a synthetic gearbox oil, which is certainly available in 90 grade. I've used this in the transmission of my 205 CTi since I bought it in 2003, and indeed the previous owner also used it. This I would think more suitable for a gearbox intended to run on gear oil. I say this because the later G10 is designed to use engine oil, so take care that your engine oil advice was not intended for those later gearboxes. The synthetic oil, whilst being the correct grade, is substantially lighter in consistency, so will lubricate more thoroughly and offer far less drag.
