    2.8L is the gearbox oil capacity for a manual VR-4.

    As for the GL-4 vs GL4/5 debate, well, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence on here that suggests whatever variety of GL4/5 used has caused adverse effects to the manual gearbox in the VR-4. Mitsi do specifically spec GL-4, and to be fair, even without the anecdotal evidence, there is zero point in going for a GL-4/5 over a GL-4 in this application.

    Any good synthetic GL-4 will fit the bill. Many owners recommend the use of Amsoil's MTG.

    Hi

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

    http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-442-atfs.aspx

    My data says it needs 7.5L. I don't know if it has a filter or not.

    Cheers

    Tim

    Hi

    You need a 75w-90 for that

    http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-...-diff-oil.aspx

    Technically you should be able to use a GL4 or GL4/5 oil, although a lot of people are adamant that the Galant can only use a GL4 oil. If you want a GL4, go for the Redline MT90, Amsoil Transaxle and Transmission Gear Oil or Castrol Syntrans Multivehicle. If you want a GL4/5, Motul 300V, Millers CRX, Gulf Competition, Castrol Universal or Motul Motylgear.

    Cheers

    Tim

    Hi folks,

    With winter here and plenty of cold starts, perhaps it's time to consider changing the oil that you use in your car.

    Does your antifreeze need changing?
    Is your gearshift okay when cold?
    Do you need something to protect your car from the weather?

    We have free delivery to UK mainland for orders over £40 at the moment so it is a good time to order from opieoils.co.uk

    Let us know if you need any advice, we are here to help. You can call us on 01209 202944, email us at sales@opieoils.co.uk, or just ask here.

    Cheers

    oilman
