Hey guys ran into a problem, its time for my gearbox oil to be changed and who ever owned this before i did has put some type of synthetic oil in it, its bright blue .. yes thats right hahah nar its not the funny when you think about it.

Well does anyone know what type of oil this maybe? because if i run a diffrent oil now it will kill my gearbox.

Anyone seen this oil before???

[VB-]

are you lookin to use the same oil? i doubt you will kill your box if you put a different oil in it. ring a trans specialist and ask what type of oil they'd recomend. redlines seems to be pretty good.

and dont redline oils come in weird colours like that?

[N1GTR]

Sounds like Redline shockproof

[Wheezy]

Penrite Lim slip Diff oil is blue, but im just shit stirring you that it would be that, unless some muzza owned the car before you. lol

Im agreeing its some exotic expensive oil, I thought shock proof was red....lol cant remember

[Simon-S14]

don't mean to hijack this thread but when do u change gbox oils? and where do u put them in?

[Beer Baron]

actually I believe shockproof is red. LIGHTWEIGHT shockproof is blue.

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

^ yep i think that's right.

[Steve]

super lightweight shockproof is yellow

lightweight shockproof is light blue

heavyweight shockproof is pinky/red

they are all a sort of pastel colour, not really what I would call a 'bright' colour

There is a filler plug on the side of the gearbox or you can poor it through the shifter if you take it out

Do a search....D.I.Y.......it will show you the two bolts you need to unscrew.

The oil is lighweight-shockproof and available through Bursons and is about $110 dollars...each store has a different price.(?)

At least this is what I found out when calling a few up in my area.

Fill it up until it overflows......

What problem are you having anyway because normally this oil is used when you are having some problems.

It might be a waste of time ...especially if you need to over-haul the unit.

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

if you have a relatively new gearbox, or it feels pretty fresh. don't use lightweight shockproof!! use redline MT-90

Gearbox oil is usually every 2 years or 50-60,000kms from memory...

Yea i lightweight is blue that's what i got

actually I believe shockproof is red. LIGHTWEIGHT shockproof is blue.
