Gear Oil... - Dinho - 26-09-2022
I'm about to service my car and I am looking for some gear oil.
I have an IS200 with LSD
Would this one be sufficient? http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-806-mobil-mobilube-1-shc-75w-90-fully-synthetic-supreme-performance-commercial-gear-oil.aspx
If the link doesnt work it's this one
Mobil Mobilube 1 SHC 75W-90 fully synthetic, supreme performance commercial gear oil - 1 Litre
Being as I have never changed the gear oil, would 1 litre be enough, i will be looking on youtube to find out how to do it.
Thanks

The best option is a synthetic 75w-90 LSD oil, like the Silkolene Syn 5, Millers CRX NT LS, Motul Gear 300LS, Red Line 75w-90 GL5 or Gulf Competition LS. A SAE90 or 80w-90 mineral oil such as Motul 90PA, Fuchs Race Gear 90LS or Gulf Gear LS 80w-90 is a good, cheaper alternative.

It takes a litre.
